ANKARA (AA) - Türkiye is hopeful that the Arab League Summit in Algeria would yield “successful results.”

"We hope that the Arab League Summit to be held in Algeria on 1-2 November 2022 would yield successful results in terms of our common causes, particularly the Palestinian one, and it would lead to a new era of mutual friendship and solidarity with the Arab League and all member states," said a Foreign Ministry statement.

“We wish to advance our relations with both the Arab League and all brotherly member countries of the Arab League on the basis of mutual respect, to solve the existing problems and to further deepen our cooperation,” it added.

Palestinian factions including rival HAMAS and Fatah groups signed a reconciliation agreement in Algeria on Oct. 14, 2022.

The summit is expected to discuss crises in the Arab region and issues of food and energy security in light of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The Arab League, formally known as the League of Arab States, is expected to hold its first annual summit in three years in Algeria on Nov. 1-2.
