Dr Jihad Abdullah Al Fadhel, Second Deputy Chairperson of the Shura Council, made a case for establishing a permanent women’s dialogue between the Russian Federation and the Arab world.

This came during her speech at the Fourth Eurasian Women’s Parliamentary Forum in St Petersburg, which took place from 18 to 20 September.

In her address, she spoke of the forum as a platform for exchanging knowledge on key matters such as economic empowerment, education, and health. But it was her proposal for an Agricultural and Environmental Innovation Fund that drew particular attention.

According to Dr Al Fadhel, this fund would bring together governments, parliaments, private enterprises, and academic institutions.

She explained: ‘This fund would finance projects that enhance food security while ensuring environmental sustainability, including support for research in eco-friendly farming technologies and startups focused on sustainable agricultural solutions.’

In a session focusing on ‘Women’s Contributions for a Clean Planet and Food Security,’ Dr Al Fadhel emphasised the pressing need to balance food security with environmental preservation. ‘
