ALGIERS — The Arab Summit kicked off on Tuesday to the attendance of 13 leaders, eight delegation heads and the Arab League chief.

Qais Said, President of Tunisia, the former Summit presidency, launched the talks by saying in a speech that the Arab world is living under "unstable conditions".

"This region has been impacted by matters like COVID, war, food security, organised crime and terror.

These crises have disturbed the world order, which needs a "new and unconventional definition," he said.

During its presidency, he said his nation worked to encourage joint efforts amongst the region's countries and that it would continue to do so. — KUNA
