"Praise be to God for enabling us to arrive at an understanding, determined to
work together to promote the well-being of our two countries and of all the Arab and
Muslim States.
"... to exert all our efforts and pool our potentials in harmony with the Arab
countries in general, to attain the lofty objectives, which underlay the establishment
of the Arab League in order to fulfil the national aspirations of the Arabs. In order
also to occupy the place which is rightfully ours among nations, and rise to the level
of the general humanitarian principles, whose bases were laid by the United Nations
Charter ... (we extend a friendly hand to those who wish to have a free friendship
based on an exchange of mutual interests on an equal footing, and a mutual respect
for independence)."
