( The Arab summit was held in Al-Khartoum,

countries in that summit agreed to give an annual economical aids
to both Egypt and Jordan about 135 million sterling. 95 million of them
are assigned to Egypt as a compensation for loss of the Suez Canal
profits, after it had been closed, and the loss of petroleum in Sinai, 40
million sterling were assigned to Jordan to face its commitments.
Syria did not have its share for its absence in the summit.
Saudi Arabia paid 50 million sterling,
its share in the
economical aid, Kuwait
paid 55 million, and Libya
paid 30 million. )
President Abd
Al-Nasser declared his view in the situation saying
"we
should put in consideration two points, when we discuss the subject of
political work to remove the remains of aggression, the first is the
military preparation and the second is the economical perseverance, the
decision which was taken in the Arab Summit concerning the economical aid undoubtedly
will help us so much to hold." -
