The summit meeting of the Arab League, which is formed by Arab countries and regions, was held in Saudi Arabia, and President Bashar al-Assad, who was allowed to return to the country for the first time in 12 years, also attended. The focus is on whether relations between the Assad regime, which has been isolated from the international community in the wake of the civil war, will improve relations with Arab countries.
The summit meeting of the Arab League, which is made up of more than 20 Arab countries and regions, began around 19:8 p.m. on the <>th, Japan time, in Jeddah in western Saudi Arabia.
The meeting was attended by H.H. Sheikh Tamim of Qatar, President al-Sisi of Egypt, and President Bashar al-Assad from Syria, where the civil war is continuing.
In 2011, the Arab League suspended the participation of Syria for the suppression of pro-democracy demonstrations, but this month it allowed Syria to return for the first time in 12 years.
President Assad, who has been isolated from the international community in the wake of the civil war, seems to be aiming to appeal for improved relations with neighboring countries by attending the summit.
However, the Assad regime in Syria has been criticized for suppressing dissidents by force, the United States continues to impose economic sanctions, and some Arab countries such as Qatar are also cautious about improving relations.
The focus is on whether the summit will lead to an improvement in relations between the Assad regime and Arab countries.
