King Mohammed VI of Morocco has sent a message of congratulations to Egyptian diplomat Nabil Fahmy following his election as Secretary-General of the League of Arab States. The election took place during the Arab League summit held in Cairo on June 25, 2026.
In his message, the Sovereign expressed his warm congratulations and best wishes for success in Fahmy's new role, emphasizing the importance of joint Arab action and the need to strengthen solidarity among member states. The King also reaffirmed Morocco's commitment to supporting the Arab League's efforts in addressing regional challenges.
Nabil Fahmy, a former Egyptian foreign minister, succeeds Ahmed Aboul Gheit, who served as Secretary-General since 2016. Fahmy's election marks a new chapter for the organization, which faces pressing issues including the Palestinian cause, conflicts in Sudan and Yemen, and economic cooperation.
The Arab League, founded in 1945, comprises 22 member states and aims to coordinate political, economic, cultural, and social affairs among its members. Fahmy's tenure is expected to focus on revitalizing the League's role in conflict resolution and promoting Arab unity.
