Algeria joined the League of Arab States on August 16, 1962, that is to say immediately after the restoration of its national sovereignty, and it was Algeria which placed its membership in the Arab and Islamic nation at the center of its liberation struggle against French colonialism. , which was manifested in various aspects of the support and assistance of Arab countries and people.
Algeria has hosted three (3) Arab summits: the first in 1973, the second during its extraordinary session in 1988, specifically to support the Palestinian intifada, the last of which dates back to 2005.
The League of Arab States adopted the decision of the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to demarcate the days of Fatih and November 2, 2022 as the date for the convening of the Arab Summit in Algeria, coinciding with the 68th anniversary of the outbreak of the glorious liberation revolution, as a complete story dedicated to the solidarity of Arab states and peoples with the Algerian revolution, which was a shining beacon in the history of the contemporary Arab nation.
Algeria seeks, in this Arab meeting, to give a new spirit and new impetus to joint Arab action on the basis of the priority given to common and unified denominators, including the Palestinian cause, to allow the Arab nation to make its voice heard, interact and positively influence the course of events and rapid changes at the regional and international levels.
During the work of the 41st session of the Permanent Arab Postal Committee held in Algeria on 08/09 Joan 2022, the Algerian proposal was approved that the unified Arab character of 2022 be the slogan of the Arab summit that Algeria will host on 01/02 November 2022 because of this Arab event of great importance.
