Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans living abroad,. Nasser Bourita, chaired today the Moroccan delegation to the 31st session of the Arab Summit which began Tuesday in Algiers.
Does the Moroccan delegation also include the Moroccan Ambassador to Egypt and Permanent Representative of the Kingdom to the League of Arab States, among other officials?
The Summit’s agenda includes the Palestinian issue, support for Lebanon, developments in the Syrian crisis, and Libya and Yemen.
Talks will include discussions on peace and development in Sudan, support for the Republics of Somalia and the Union of Comoros, Iran’s occupation of three Emirati islands, Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries, maintaining national security in the Arab world, as well as the fight against terrorism and the development of the Arab anti-terrorist system.
The Arab Summit will also discuss other issues related to joint Arab action and energy and food security in the Arab region.
This is the first Arab leaders gathered in the Algerian capital on Tuesday for their first summit since a string of normalization deals with Israel that have divided the region.
Since the last Arab League summit in 2019, several members of the 22-member bloc — for decades a forum for strident declarations of support for the Palestinian cause — have normalised ties with the Jewish state.
The United Arab Emirates went first in a historic US-mediated deal that made the country the third Arab state, after Egypt and Jordan, to establish full ties with Israel.
The UAE’s move sparked similar accords with Bahrain and Morocco — and a provisional agreement with Sudan — deepening Morocco’s decades-old rivalry with its neighbour Algeria.
