Arab League delegation visits Baghdad over preparations for next Summit in March

CAIRO, Jan. 22 (AKnews) – Undersecretary of the Arab League Ahmed Bin Hilli is on way to Iraq at the head of a high level delegation to make sure preparations for the next summit to be held in Baghdad in March are in place.

Iraq’s representative to the Arab League Qais al-Azzawi told AKnews that Bin Hilli will meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Foreign Minister Hushyar Zebri and a number of top officials in the country to discuss the procedures and final preparations ahead of the League’s next summit that’s expected to be held in Baghdad in March.

The Arab League summit which was originally scheduled to take place last year has been postponed several times as a wave of protests swept across the Arab countries in the region.
