Manama: Dr. Ibtisam Mohamed Saleh Al Dallal, a member of the Shura Council's Service Committee and the Arab Parliament's Economic and Financial Affairs Committee, emphasised that the Kingdom of Bahrain supports strengthening Arab digital economy pathways as a key pillar for achieving economic integration among Arab states and keeping pace with rapid economic transformations, thereby enhancing the efficiency of Arab economies and their ability to meet sustainable development requirements.
According to Bahrain News Agency, she noted that developing the digital economy is important for creating new growth opportunities and boosting intra-Arab trade through advancing digital infrastructure and expanding modern financial and commercial services, in line with global technological and innovation developments.
This came during her participation in a meeting of the Arab Parliament's Economic and Financial Affairs Committee, which reviewed priority files for the upcoming phase, including mechanisms to support the Palestinian economy, preparations for a conference on the blue economy, and parliamentary initiatives related to artificial intelligence and Arab joint action organisations.
Dr. Al Dallal highlighted that Bahrain's participation reflects the Shura Council's role in supporting priority economic issues, enhancing parliamentary cooperation, and developing legislative visions that promote Arab digital transformation, economic integration, and sustainable development.
