The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, underscored the importance of the upcoming 33rd Arab Summit in Bahrain against the backdrop of pressing challenges facing the Arab region.
These challenges notably include the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and the deteriorating political and humanitarian conditions impacting several regional countries.
In the lead-up to the summit, expected on Thursday, the Speaker of the Council of Representatives of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Ahmed bin Salman Al-Musallam, held preparatory meetings with Secretary-General Aboul Gheit and Assistant Secretary-General Ambassador Hossam Zaki of the Arab League.
Aboul Gheit highlighted the pivotal role of the Arab Summit in Bahrain in shaping a cohesive Arab stance. He also acknowledged the significant contribution of Arab parliamentary diplomacy to fostering collective Arab efforts.

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani, appointed by the country's new rulers, arrived in Qatar on Sunday to meet senior Qatari officials, a Qatari official told Reuters.

The officials include Qatar's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Mohammed Al-Khulaifi.

Syrian official news agency SANA confirmed the arrival of the Syrian delegation, which includes the country's Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra and head of intelligence Anas Khattab.

The Syrian minister's visit to Qatar is his second foreign trip less than a month since former President Bashar al-Assad was ousted by opposition fighters on Dec. 8.

Al-Shibani is expected to also visit the United Arab Emirates and Jordan this week to "support stability, security, economic recovery and build distinguished partnerships," according to his account on X.

He embarked on his first foreign trip to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, where Saudi officials discussed how best to support Syria's political transition.
