On the Arab Expatriate's Day, which is celebrated annually by the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States (LAS) on December 4th, we honor the achievements of the Arab descendants residing abroad, whose contributions to their new societies stand as evidence of their distinction and excellence across political, economic, scientific, cultural, athletic and artistic fields. They represent an extension of an authentic Arab civilization, and a distinguished model of openness to and integration with other civilizations.
