Participants emphasized the importance of ongoing knowledge exchange and the development of practical, collaborative programs that can support food security efforts at both national and regional levels.
The team also agreed to hold regular follow-up meetings to monitor progress, align efforts among stakeholders, and support the successful implementation of the Arab Food Security Strategy.
