related activities, including technology transfer and use, education, training, qualification, specialized studies and research in the field of energy, especially in the field of oil and gas, while focusing on environmental conservation and working to reduce harmful emissions through advanced technology, thereby maintaining the positive and valuable role of oil in the Arab and global economy and development. In conclusion, I hope that this seminar will succeed in exploring the future of energy in the Arab world and discussing the attractive investment opportunities, and be a driver in supporting inter-Arab cooperation on commercial basis while discussing possible financing, as represented in the mission and objectives of the Arab Petroleum Investment Corporation (APICORP).
