Arab League Council to discuss development of Arab joint action

The Arab League Council is set to hold a meeting on Tuesday at the level of permanent representatives under the chairmanship of Egypt to launch the four teams working on the development of the joint Arab action, in light of a study prepared by an independent committee headed by former Algerian foreign minister Lakhdar Brahimi. Arab League Deputy Secretary General Ahmed ben Hilli said the four teams, which will be launched during the meeting, comprise one charged with reviewing the Arab League’s charter and the development of the intellectual framework of the joint Arab action, a team working on the development of the Arab League’s bodies, another one on the development of the economic and social Arab action, and a fourth one on the popular aspect of the Arab joint action as a number of Arab countries undergo popular movements. He added that these teams will submit a report to the next Arab League ministerial council meeting in September.
