the importance of surpassing the culture of hopelessness and despair,
and hoped to see within the next few years the first Arab space ship

seventh conference of the Arab Thought Foundation, said 'we always
shed light on the tragedies and disasters, and the Arab press and
media give a distorted idea about the Arab society.

Prince Khalid noted that the establishment of the Arab Thought
Foundation has provided a clear evidence for rejection of despair,
hopelessness and disappointment, and added that the entire Arab
community has welcomed the establishment of the Foundation.

Despite the spirit of despair yet the Arab nation is still in a good
condition, he said adding that the Arab innovation and innovators are
unlimited and they are capable of attaining great achievements if
they find the chance to do that.

The Arab youth constitute the future of the Arab nation, he noted.
If there are problems and obstacles as well as endeavors to destroy
hopes, there is also a strong determination, he said noting that the
Arab world has unlimited capabilities and potentialities, and the
Arab thinkers and elite have proved to be the greatest in the world
when opportunities were extended to them at universities with
scientific research centers in the west.

Such research centers are now available in the Arab countries and
efforts are underway to further promote and develop them, he added.
