The Arab League office in the United States of America aims at representing the interests of its member-states and foster greater cross-cultural dialogue, building ties of joint-cooperation, deep understanding, and mutual appreciation between the Arab World and the United States and its citizens.
The Arab World, consisting of 356 million inhabitants, enjoys unifying factors such as cultural homogeneity, linguistic oneness (The Arabic Language), common spiritual values, and rich history. Geographically, peoples of the Arab world inhabit a region characterized by its contiguity and immense international strategic importance.
The Middle East, containing the Arab States, has a strategic location in the world. It is the center of the universe and is in close proximity to all continents.
