The
Arab Maghreb Union (
Arabic: اتحاد المغرب العربي;
transliterated: Ittihad al-Maghrib al-Araby,
French:Union du Maghreb arabe) is a
Pan-Arab trade agreement aiming for economic and political unity in
North Africa.The idea for an economic union of the
Maghreb began with the independence of
Tunisia and
Morocco in
1956. It was not until thirty years later, though, that five Maghreb
states -
Algeria,
Libya,
Mauritania,
Morocco, and
Tunisia - met for the first Maghreb summit. The following year, in
1989, the agreement was formally signed by all member nations. There is a rotating chairmanship, which is held in turn by each nation. The current secretary-general is Tunisian diplomat
Habib Ben Yahia.
