ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ARAB COMMONWEALTH RENEWS HOPES FOR INCREASED ARAB COOPERATION

Government officials have announced today the conclusion of an agreement with Syria and Libya to form a united Arab Commonwealth. This initiative marks another initiative at creating a unified Arab state, and those involved are optimistic that it will be the most successful to date.

Provisions of the treaty call for several gradual steps by which member nations shall increase cooperation and integration, eventually to the end of full unification into a single Arab state.

Observers have noted that, if any effects of this arrangement are noted by the average Egyptian, they will most likely be positive, as more economic opportunities arise from assistance and cooperation fostered by this agreement.

This move can be noted to be part of a larger global trend, whereby nations seek to engage in and increase regional cooperation to their mutual benefit. That this trend shows much promise for the long-term health and prosperity of a nation and its people can leave one to rest easy as to the future health of the Arab nation and people.
