Syrian president to attend Arab summit

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, May 18 (Prensa Latina) President Bashar Al-Assad will participate in the meeting of heads of state and government of Arab countries to be held this Friday in the Saudi city of Jeddah, Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Al-Mekdad confirmed.

“Syria will be present as always and President Al-Assad will lead the delegation,” Al-Mekdad told reporters after his participation in the foreign ministers’ meeting prior to the annual summit.

Last May 10th, Al-Assad received an invitation from the King of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, to attend the 32nd Arab League summit.

The Arab foreign ministers, who met on May 7th in Cairo, unanimously decided to readmit Syria as a full member of the Arab League after 12 years of being absent from the Arab League.
