Egypt's FM arrives in Kuwait

Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy and his accompanying delegation arrived on Saturday in Kuwait to take part in the Third Arab-African Summit which is scheduled to begin on Tuesday. The summit is due to take up a raft of Arab and African topics as well as means of boosting cooperation in the various domains. The first Arab-African summit was conducted in 1977 in Cairo with the participation of 61 Arab and African countries. The second took place in 2010 in Sirte, Libya and instituted an action plan for African-Arab cooperation for 2011 to 2016. This month’s summit will convene under the banner “partners in development and investment” and will also include agriculture ministers from the region.
