Secretary General of the Council of Arab Economic Unity (CAEU) Mohamed Al Rabie Al Amin said Thursday that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, the head of the African Union, has successfully managed to handle all files and overcome all challenges the Arab and African nations are facing.

In statements to MENA on the sidelines of the first Arab-African economic conference which kicked off on Thursday, Al Amin said the Arab and African countries face many economic challenges so the council decided to hold this conference to discuss them.

He called for cooperation among African and Arab countries to achieve economic integration and sustainable development, saying the conference aims at consolidating Arab-African bonds through launching joint investments and trade projects and achieving security.
