On this day, 36 years ago, February 16, 1989 (January 11, 1989 in the lunar calendar), the Arab Cooperation Council was formed. On February 16, 1989, the heads of state of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Arab Yemen signed an agreement in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, announcing the establishment of the Arab Cooperation Council. The agreement has 17 articles. The agreement stipulates that the committee adheres to the Arab League Charter and the Arab Common Defense Treaty, and insists on economic cooperation with organizations and institutions affiliated with the Arab League; It is stipulated that the purpose of the committee is to achieve and improve the highest level of coordination, cooperation, integration and alliance among member states based on circumstances, potential and experience, especially in the areas of economy, finance, customs, industry, agriculture, trade, transfer and use of funds, transportation, transportation, communications, education, culture and scientific research. Exchange experience in social, health and tourism matters, as well as labor, migration and settlement. The committee opens its doors to every Arab country that wishes to join. The secretariat of the Cooperation Committee is located in Amman. The external reasons for the establishment of the Arab Cooperation Council were the easing trend of the international situation at that time and the collectivization development direction of the world economy. From an Arab perspective, the League of Arab States has made important achievements more than 40 years since its establishment, but there are also certain purposes that have not yet been achieved. To this end, some Arab countries have established regional organizations based on the situation in their regions to realize their aspirations. This is one of the internal reasons for the establishment of the Arab Cooperation Council. The second internal reason is that Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and Arab Yemen have certain foundations and conditions to form an economic group. Egypt is the largest country in the Middle East. In 1984, Jordan was the first Arab country to restore diplomatic relations with Egypt. The two countries cooperated closely economically and leaders exchanged visits frequently. Yemen and Egypt have traditional exchanges. In July 1964, Yemen and Egypt signed the "Unification and Coordination Agreement", stipulating that the two countries "unify policies" and "unify actions" in political, economic and other aspects. Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Yemen have established various bilateral cooperation committees and signed mutually beneficial economic and trade agreements. In addition, the four countries are complementary in terms of labor, finance, technology, etc., and have mutual economic needs. In addition, the successful experience of the Gulf Cooperation Council and the establishment of an alliance among the five Maghreb countries played a certain catalytic role in the establishment of the Arab Cooperation Council. Under the above circumstances, the Arab Cooperation Council came into being. The establishment of the Arab Cooperation Council has attracted widespread attention from Arab countries. In April 1989, the member states of the Arab Cooperation Council decided to establish a special economic and legal committee to coordinate economic cooperation among the four countries and deal with legal aspects of mutual relations. In the early days of its establishment, the Arab Cooperation Council was mainly to continue to implement bilateral agreements, then gradually expand bilateral relations to multilateral levels, and then gradually create conditions for the establishment of an Arab Economic Community in the future. There is no doubt that the establishment of this committee will play a positive role in the economic development of these four countries and the Arab world.
