'Qatar dazzled world by hosting exclusive version of World Cup'

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has congratulated Qatar, His Highness the Amir, government and the people of Qatar for the successful and impressive organisation of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, confirming that it was an exclusive version, in terms of good organisation, generous hospitality and suspenseful football event.
In his speech delivered before the high-level session of the 42nd meeting of Arab Ministers of Social Affairs, Aboul Gheit stressed that through this impressive success of the tournament, Qatar has proved that the Arab world has the ability and grit to hold global events and activities at the highest levels. He noted the efforts undertaken by HE the Minister of Social Development and Family in co-ordination with the Social Affairs Sector at the Arab League to organise this vital Arab event which, he said, is a new phase in the joint development and social action through focusing on the issues that touch the life of every single Arab citizen.
Today, a new support is launched for persons with disabilities who constitute the most important categories that deserve social protection through the initiative of the Arab League secretary-general to launch the 2nd Arab Decade for Persons With Disabilities 2023-2032, Aboul Gheit pointed out.
He clarified that in the context of the implementation of the Arab Strategic Framework for the Eradication of Multidimensional Poverty that was ratified by the 4th development Arab summit, the Arab multidimensional poverty report came, after it was prepared in partnership with the specialised UN agencies. He added that such two topics, if they are implemented in the required form and content, will constitute an important paradigm shift in those two fields.
He confirmed that Arab League supports Doha Declaration which is due to be issued at the end of this event, to strengthen the Arab efforts dedicated to proceeding with the implementation of 2030 Sustainable Development Plan, which reflects positively on the Arab citizen. In his speech delivered to the session, Secretary-General of the Union for the Mediterranean Nasser Kamel reviewed the union's efforts in social development with its various dimensions, along with the nature of co-operation with the Arab states in this field.
He also highlighted the nature of challenges facing the comprehensive development in the region, and the union's role in building a robust regional co-operation, specially with regard to persons with disabilities.
