DOHA INTERNATIONAL MEETING BETWEEN SUDAMERICA AND ARABS

Sudamerican presidents started to arrive today at Qatar for participating in the Forum of the arabs countries which objective is to avoid that the crisis ruins the cooperation interregional . Among the participants were Argentina''President Cristina Kirchner , Brazil 'President Lula da Silva and Venezuela 's President Hugo Chavez .

Since the last meeting done in Brazil,in 2005 the trading and alliances has been developed 3 times more. There are differents points of view , in the case of sudamerican countries and arabs relationships are foccused on commercial trade and in the case of Argentina to get the support that will be one topic will be discussed in the meeting G20 in London about the souveranity of Islas Malvinas (Faklands)





Last December here in Qatar, as the broader contours of the crisis were emerging, the international community adopted the Doha Declaration on Financing for Development. Now that the consequences are more fully upon us, amid widespread job losses and a widening global slowdown, the Declaration can help guide us through these troubled times.



The Declaration calls on donor countries to deliver on targets for official development assistance. Beyond ODA, it urges them to mobilize the full range of multilateral resources in order to help developing countries maintain growth. It also stresses the importance of protecting the most vulnerable groups against the severe impacts of the economic crisis.



Since then, the health of the global economy has only deteriorated, with increasingly dire consequences. In London, I will remind the G-20 leaders not only of the commitments they made, but also of the spirit of global solidarity which marked the Doha meeting.
That solidarity is essential; this is a global crisis, and our response must encompass all countries and people. That includes the Arab world, where the crisis has profound implications for sustainable development.
An effective response requires measures to cushion the impact on the poor and vulnerable, so that they do not lose access to health, schooling and other social services -- and so that gender disparities are not made even worse. I have called on the world's largest economies to agree on a substantial stimulus package. I have referred to this in detail in my letter to G-20 leaders. I am also warning against trade protectionism, which would only stifle the Arab countries' efforts to integrate more deeply into the world economy.
I will also carry a related message to London: that our response to the economic crisis offers an opportunity to take bold steps to address climate change. This is yet another challenge with which the Arab world is wrestling. Arab states, situated in arid and semi-arid areas, are also particularly prone to adverse impacts of land degradation, desertification, deforestation and forest degradation. Yet you also have the potential to be in the lead on investments in green energy, which can stimulate growth and job creation. I urge you to do your part in this regard and in negotiations to seal a deal on climate change at the Copenhagen conference in December this year.
And finally, across this agenda, it is essential to create space for civil society and for participation by all people, both women and men, in the decisions that affect their lives.
The United Nations is solidly committed to working with you in pursuit of these objectives. Thousands of UN staff are working with their national and regional partners, to ensure a bright future for the youth of the region -- a future of dignity, democracy, opportunity and peace.
