The 11th meeting of The Arab Women Organization (AWO) Executive Council has concluded in Egypt on Monday.
Supreme Council for Women (SCW) secretary-general Hala Al-Ansari attended the two-day session in Cairo, Egypt.
The session discussed key issues, including the AWO administrative report (June2012-November2012).
Preparations for the fourth (AWO) Conference also came under the spotlight.
The AWO is scheduled to be held late February 2013 in Algiers under the slogan “Women Entrepreneurship in the Arab World: Leadership and Development”.
Established in 2002, the 16-member pan-Arab organisation includes Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Oman, Lebanon, Libya, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritania and Yemen.
A group of fifty young Bahrainis have performed small pilgrimage (Umrah).
Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali bin Khalifa Al-Khalifa shouldered the costs in recognition of the crucial role of youth as pillar of the future.
He urged young people to commit to the religious precepts and sublime ethics to ensure success and achieve their ambitions and goals in life.
The pilgrims extended thanks to Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali bin Khalifa Al-Khalifa for his initiatives and drive to promote youth.
