The 7th International Conference of Asian Federation of Middle East Studies Associations (AFMA) was held in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia during Sept. 5-6, 2008. It was hosted by Mongolian Association of Middle East Studies and School of Foreign Service of National University of Mongolia in the title of "The Current Situation and Perspectives of Middle East and Northeast Asia". Prof. S. Nyamzagd, President of AFMA and his colleagues well organized the conference by a great deal of preparation and it was very successful meeting of Asian scholars on the Middle Eastern studies.

Mongolian weather was also best season for our conference. I could not forget Monolian host and happy hours of tourist site by the hospitable invitation. I'd like to express my hearth thanks to Prof. S. Nyamzagd and MAMES colleagues for careful consideration on the meeting again.

Dr. Seong Min Hong

(President, KIME)

Now I'd like to introduce diges of my paper that ever read in the symposium in the title of "Food Security and Water Resources in the Middle East". My paper consisted of five parts: 1. Forward, 2. The Characteristics of Food, Security, Crisis and Weapon, 3. Food Prices and Crisis in the Middle East, 4. Water Resources and Water Crisis in the Middle East, and 5. Concluding Remark.

The forthcoming world seems to change uncertainly. It will depend on various kinds of war and crisis in the world. Considering present hike in agricultural market that is linked with oil price, War will develop as water war rather than oil war and crisis will appear as a weapon that is food crisis rather than oil crisis. In this context, the Middle East Arab countries and African countries will play a great role in the process of changing world order. They have huge energy resources and agricultural potential, though they are suffering from starvation. The change of weather will also play a role to develop their agricultural industry with the improvement of water scarcity.

Food is an essential material for human subsistence. Hence economic development in one country must be based on the basis of self-sufficiency of food. Now the advanced countries transformed into food -exporting countries. On the contrary underdeveloped countries have pursued export-oriented industry policy to catch up with modernization of industrialized countries. As a result, the former food-export countries as an agricultural state fell into food-import countries. The Middle East and African countries are typical examples. Traditionally these countries were agricultural stated in the long history of the world. Now these states have faced with serious problem of starvation, insufficient food, scarce of water following poor harvest, drought along with high price of oil and food. Leaders of some Arab and African countries have faced with challenge to political power. The only way to solve food problem in the Middle East is to develop agricultural industry and secure sufficient water supply by introducing advanced new technology under the support of international help and aid.
