ARAB SUMMIT CONFERENCE
ARAB LEAGUE
EIGHTEENTH ORDINARY SESSION
KHARTOUM, 28 - 29 March 2006

Khartoum is to host the meetings of the Arab Summit during the coming March 2006.

This is the second time Khartoum hosts the Arab summit, whereas the first time was in 1967, The 1967 summit was one of the most famous Arab summits, known as "the three-No summit" that had wiped the tears and healed the wounds of July War, restored self-confidence for the Arab nation, narrowed the differences of the Arab Leaders and secured the will of endurance in confrontation for both the Arab States and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) alike.

The summit comes weeks after Khartoum has hosted the joint African work, basing in its bright historical heritage throughout the different stages of the African common action.

Sudan is currently asked for a greater role dictated by the new international reality that stands on inevitability of joint regional action.

Sudan, venturing these new horizons, is in a better position than before, whereas the curtain has been drawn on the south civil war, which was the major hamper before development efforts and Sudan's regional role, particularly in Africa. Not to mention the ungrounded accusations against Sudan that touched on the depth of its relations with some countries, namely those countries which drifted behind the machine of media and information organ that was adding fuel to the fire at that time, and which is now trying to play the same record twice again in Darfur.

Sudan has been playing a great role in two of the most important issues of the Arab world, be they the food security and the Arab-African cooperation.

We sincerely hope that the expected Khartoum Arab summit, which coincides with the country's celebration of the first anniversary of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which was signed in Naivasha in January 2005, would be successful and find a conclusive solution for these two issues and other issues facing the Arab world.

The summit, as well, comes in a time when Sudan is under a rule of Government of National Unity that was formed following the signing of the CPA, which put an end for the longest-standing civil war in Africa.

The summit, further, coincides with the celebrations of the Arab League of the elapse of 50 years since the convocation of the first Arab Summit, which was held in Alexandria in May 28, 1946, and which was called for by King Farouq of Egypt. On this occasion, The Sudan News Agency (SUNA) has the pleasure to publish this file on the establishment of the Arab League.

We hope that the summit would come out with strong resolutions that would meat the aspirations of the Arab nations in all issues.
