The summit is a bi-regional mechanism for cooperation and political coordination, held every three years. It gathers the 22 member states of the Arab League and 12 countries of South America.
Attendance at this meeting has been given as one of the reasons for the postponement of a sitting of Parliament which had been scheduled for Thursday.
