Al-Azhar congratulated former foreign minister Ahmed Abul-Gheit on his appointment as the new Arab League (AL) secretary-general.
In a statement on Friday, Al-Azhar said that the appointment of Abul-Gheit reflects Egypt's major role in the Arab and Islamic world.
Al-Azhar voiced hope that Abul-Gheit will activate the role of the AL and develop its performance.
Al-Azhar extended thanks for outgoing AL chief Nabil el Araby for his efforts during his tenure in the pan-Arab body.
Abul Gheit will assume his responsibilities as secretary-general in an official manner starting July 2016.
Abul Gheit served as Egypt's foreign minister between 2004-2011.
He was the permanent representative of Egypt at the UN headquarters in New York 1999-2004.
