CAIRO - 27 December 2019: Arab League (AL) Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has called on Arab states to adopt new strategies and policies to be able to face accelerating global challenges and serious regional threats.

Aboul Gheit's remarks came during a lecture that he delivered on Thursday at the National Defense College (NDC) in Oman under the theme of "fostering the strength of the nation state in Arab World".
