The Joint Arab-Islamic Summit, scheduled to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will focus on the current situation in the Middle East.
While President Tinubu is scheduled to depart Abuja, the Nigerian capital, the Summit will commence on Monday, November 11, 2024.
It is being held at the invitation of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and follows last year’s summit in the same Saudi city.
According to the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, during the summit, President Tinubu is expected to address the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, emphasising Nigeria’s strong call for an immediate ceasefire and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution.
