Bahraini astronomers have called for the establishment of an Arab space agency according to a report in Gulf Daily News.

An international astronomy forum in Alexandria, Egypt will discuss the issue in October. Astronomers say the creation of an agency would involve the region in the industry and assist Arab scientists to research and promote exploration.

Vice-president of the Arab Union on Astronomy and Space Science Dr Shawqi Al Dallal told Gulf Daily News “We have to convince the Arab League to discuss this matter.”

“The agency can promote telecommunications, satellites, participation in space missions, get involved in the application of space science and participate in protocols with other countries” he said.
