The second Arab Economic Summit will discuss a railway network connecting all the Arab states, according to Secretary-General of the Arab League Amr Moussa.
Moussa said the project, which follows the model of the EU joint railways system, is on the table for the first time. Other plans to be discussed are the construction of common highways and the reinforcement of inter-Arab maritime transport, he said.
He went on to note that the agenda of the economic summit, which will held in January at the Red Sea resort Sharm al-Sheikh, will review the resolutions of the first summit, held in January 2009 in Kuwait. He added that other issues, such as a customs union and a common market, will also be tackled.
