Fahd Mohammed Al-Hammadi, President of the Arab Contractors Union, revealed efforts to bring together Arab contracting and construction companies and encourage mergers among them through alliances and agreements, as well as to increase coordination and cooperation among them, emphasizing the Federation’s role in enhancing coordination and cooperation among them. During his meeting with Nael Al-Kabariti, President of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture of the Arab Countries and President of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, Al-Hammadi called for support for these companies operating in the contracting and construction sector.

Al-Hammadi stressed the need to develop a strategy and roadmap to support the contracting industry in the Arab world and to foster cooperation among Arab contractors to exchange expertise and technical know-how in the contracting sector under the umbrella of the Union of Arab Chambers, in addition to activating the role of the Union of Arab Chambers to assist in comprehensive planning and urban development in Arab countries; the need to facilitate the movement of machinery and equipment between Arab countries and to enact legislation that guarantees and protects the rights of these companies in the event of work exchanges among them within Arab countries; and the establishment of an Arab mechanism for arbitration and consulting—particularly given the existence of an Arab Chamber of Arbitration in Jordan—and the revival of Arab consulting and arbitration services as an alternative to seeking them in Europe.
