Saudi Arabia is preparing to host the 29th Arab League summit on Sunday in the Eastern Province.
The Center for Government Communication at the Ministry of Culture and Information and the Communication and Media Center at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have launched the official social media accounts of the summit on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube (@Arabsummit2018).
The social media accounts will be run around the clock during the summit and its preparatory meetings.
Mahmoud Afifi, spokesman of the secretary-general of the Arab League and Minister Plenipotentiary, said that the convening of the summit in Saudi Arabia would give strong momentum to tackle issues and crises in the region, and contribute to the success of the summit.
Afifi said that the launch of Iranian-made ballistic missiles by Houthi militias in Saudi cities and the Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries would receive special attention during the summit.
