For the first time in its history, the Association of Arab Universities is holding an executive office meeting at the University of Baghdad on the eve of the General Conference of the Union.

The Executive Office of the Association of Arab Universities convened its first meeting at the University of Baghdad to discuss several agenda items in preparation for the launch of the Union’s General Conference, coinciding with its sixtieth anniversary.

Dr. Amr Ezzat Salama, the Secretary-General of the Association of Arab Universities, affirmed that Iraq is one of the founding member countries of the Union of Universities. The presence of Arab university presidents at the General Conference, hosted by the capital Baghdad for the first time, encourages further integration among Arab educational institutions.

In this context, Dr. Baha Ibrahim Insaf, President of the University of Baghdad, welcomed the hosting of the Executive Office of the Union and the General Conference, which will provide a positive environment for collaboration and scientific exchange between Iraqi universities and their Arab counterparts.”
