Arab summit: Algeria to send Justice Minister to invite Moroccan king
Algerian President Abdulmadjid Tebboune is to send his country’s Justice Minister, Abdul Rashid Tabbi, to Rabat to hand over a personal invitation for Morocco’s King Mohammed VI to attend the Arab League summit scheduled to be held in Algiers, Capital city of Algeria in November.
“As part of the preparation of the upcoming Arab Summit, the Algerian authorities have decided to send several emissaries to Arab capitals, carrying invitations to all heads of state of Arab League members,” said the Algerian authorities.
A press release from Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the Algerian Minister of Justice will visit Rabat after Riyadh and Amman.
“It is in this context that the Algerian Minister of Justice will be received in Morocco,” said in the press release.
The move cuts short expectations that the summit will be delayed by Algeria’s initial refusal to send an invitation to Morocco.
However, Morocco World News reported government sources as hinting that Algeria’s sending of an official to Morocco will not affect the country’s stance on its tense relations with Rabat.
