Concurrently, Minister Bourita engaged in bilateral talks with multiple counterparts, including Badr Abdelatty from Egypt and Taher Al-Baour from Libya.
During discussions with Egyptian Foreign Minister Abdelatty, Bourita emphasized the significance of enhancing Morocco-Egypt bilateral relations and key agenda items for the summit. The urgent meeting was organized through cooperation between Egypt, the host nation, and Bahrain, the current chair of the Arab League, following consultations with member states and the League’s Secretariat.
Opening remarks were delivered by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa at the summit, which commenced around 4:00 p.m. local time.
