Arab-Islamic Summit: FM Attaf attends signing ceremony for creation of supporting mechanism for Palestinian cause

RIYADH – The Algerian minister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Attaf, attended on Monday in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the signing ceremony for the creation of a tripartite mechanism for the support of the Palestinian cause between the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), and the African Union (AU), on the sidelines of the Arab-Islamic Summit.

The statement released at the end of the proceedings of the Riyadh Summit commended the creation of the mechanism, welcoming the constant and historic positions of the African Union regarding the Palestinian cause.

The creation of the mechanism is meant to mobilise and coordinate the efforts and steps of the three organisations in support of the Palestinian cause, mainly through regular political consultations, the exchange of information and data, joint positions in international fora, the organisation of humanitarian rescue operations, and the planning of media and cultural activities shedding light on the suffering and struggle of the Palestinian people.
