* It is no secret to anyone the role that the chemical and petrochemical industries sector occupies in the economies of the Arab countries, and it is the sector that most attracts capital, and the basic components for its expansion and development are available in the Arab world, such as raw materials, qualified personnel, and institutions that provide this sector with specialists, advanced technologies, training and qualification courses, and research activities. Which created a huge industrial base whose invested capital is estimated at billions of dollars and whose outputs cover the Arab and international markets, thus becoming one of the main pillars of the Arab and global economy.
In light of the economic transformations taking place in the Arab world, attention to this sector has become a basic necessity. Based on these facts and believing in the necessity of working to revitalize Arab integration economically and industrially in the face of international industrial and economic blocs, we have therefore taken the initiative to hold this workshop on Arab industrial integration in the field of petrochemical industries.
