Al-Madina News: Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, will be present at the anticipated Arab summit in Algeria to meet with Arab leaders and to advance the global approach to addressing crises in the region.
Ten Arab presidents have reportedly confirmed their personal participation thus far, according to remarks made by the Algerian Foreign Ministry, while the other countries’ degree of involvement is still to be determined.
Algeria is eager to have a quality presence and has welcomed numerous international celebrities. Stephane Dujarric, a spokesman for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, said during a news conference that Guterres would deliver a speech at the Arab summit’s opening and use the occasion to meet with several Arab leaders to address regional issues.
The spokesman emphasised the significance of the Algiers summit and the Secretary-constant General’s desire to attend summits of significant gatherings in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Ramtane Lamamra, Algeria’s foreign minister, delivered the letter of invitation that Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune had sent to him to the UN Secretary-General while the UN General Assembly was in session.
Officials from the UN and Algeria spoke about the reality of Arab issues during their discussion. According to the Algerian Foreign Ministry, Guterres praised Algeria’s efforts to support stability and peace in Libya, as well as its efforts to enhance Palestinian national unity and restart the Middle East peace process by renewing the Arab Peace Initiative.

Sabri Boukadoum, a former Algerian foreign minister, was to have been appointed as a UN envoy to Libya, but this appointment was scrapped after objections from Arab nations, most notably the United Arab Emirates, who claimed that Algeria “does not represent, in the eyes of the Libyans, a neutral party.”
Two notable guests of honour will attend the Algeria Summit in addition to Guterres: the presidents of Senegal, who serves as the African Union’s president, and Azerbaijan, who is currently the chairman of the Non-Aligned Movement.
The Non-Aligned Movement’s objectives are being revived, according to Minister Lamamra’s recent statements, in light of the resurgence of international polarisation that threatens global peace and security. Algeria has a significant impact inside these two organisations.
According to recent announcements from the Algerian Foreign Ministry, roughly 10 Arab leaders have so far confirmed their personal attendance at the Arab summit, while additional nations have emphasised their active engagement. The Algerian Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Interior, Justice, Energy, and Trade talked about presenting invitation letters from President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to Arab leaders.
