The Ministers of Foreign Affairs representing Arab countries have agreed to renew incumbent Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit’s tenure in the role for a further five-year term starting on 1 July.
An official diplomatic source said, “The Arab foreign ministers unanimously decided to approve Egypt’s request to renew Aboul Gheit’s tenure.”
The approval came during the consultative meeting that preceded the opening session of the 155th regular session of the Arab League Council at the ministerial level, which starts on Wednesday.
