The first Arab committee, which is thus constituted in Beirut, also plans "to strengthen the ties between the Saharawi Arab people and its nation through the cultural fields that will lead to this goal".

The members of the committee will also work to "gave to the Saharawi cause the presence that it deserves", starting from the "negative consequences of the Western Sahara's conflict that opposes two Arab peoples: Morocco and the Saharawi people for three decades despite of UN's, Security Council's and African Union's efforts".
