The Al Jazeera Center for Studies, in cooperation with the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations in Iran, organized the second session of the "Arab-Iranian Dialogue" over a period of 3 days. The timing of the session was well chosen, as it came after the Arab Summit in Jeddah on May 18, and after the two meetings held between Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran under the auspices of the People's Republic of China in Beijing between March 10 and April 6.
