Morocco’s King Sets Conditions for Arab League Summit Attendance

More is now known about King Mohammed VI’s participation in the Arab summit scheduled for November 1-2 in Algiers. Present in the Algerian capital to attend the preparatory meeting of the summit, Bourita stated that "King Mohammed VI will decide whether the conditions for his participation in the Algiers summit are met" before attending.

A week ago, the Algerian media had confirmed the sovereign’s participation in this regional meeting. This information has not been officially confirmed. Among the other topics on the agenda of this summit, the dispute between Morocco and Algeria. The current Algerian regime broke off diplomatic ties with the kingdom in August 2021.

This position of Algeria is frowned upon by several Arab countries, who also reproach it for not distancing itself enough from Iran.
