EAM S Jaishankar met Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit in New Delhi ahead of the 2nd India-Arab Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. Talks focused on strengthening cooperation across sectors, regional developments, and building on a decade-old India-Arab partnership
While the Arab League and organisations like the Saudi-based OIC have maintained their view that the Palestinians should have their own independent state, Israel recently has reached recognition deals with several of its members.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Aboul-Gheit described the move as "an important accomplishment that crowned the accumulation of educational and scientific knowledge sponsored by the government over years".
