CAIRO, March 1, 2007 (WAFA) - Permanent representatives at the Arab League continued their discussions of the Arab foreign ministers' coming meeting here for the second day on Thursday.

At its 127th session, the Council of the Arab League (AL) met for the second day at the level of Arab permanent representatives, under the chairmanship of Tunisian Representative Al-Habib Kaabash, to mull over the agenda of the Arab foreign ministers, who would meet at the Cairo-based AL headquarters on Sunday.

On the sidelines of the meeting, AL Secretary-General's Office Chief Hisham Yussef said in news remarks that the 127th session aimed to work out the draft agenda of the forthcoming Arab summit, involving a set of political and economic issues, chiefly Palestine and Iraq.

Meanwhile, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul is expected to attend the opening session of Arab foreign ministers for the first time. He will address the meeting on Arab-Turkish ties, which have recently developed on a steady basis in economic and political issues.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres is also expected to attend the opening session, and to present a detailed report on the world issue of refugees, he said.

In his detailed report, Guterres will highlight the issue of Iraqi refugees and displaced persons, which has emerged in Iraq widely and tragically in light of the US presence in Iraq.
