Yemen, nominating al-Aini for the post of AL Secretary General

The Yemeni foreign minister Abdul Qader Bajmal said on Saturday that Yemen will nominate former prime minister Mohsin al-Aini to the post of the secretary general of the Arab League in succession of the AL secretary general whose term of office will end in the mid of May this year.

Bajmal explained in a statement broadcast by the Yemeni news agency Sabaa that the mechanism of convening a regular Arab summit which was approved in the urgent summit in Cairo states to debate the names of candidates for the post of the secretary general of the Arab League to the next summit which is supposed to be convened in March in Amman.

He added that Yemen will start its moves through consultations which will be held by the Yemeni political leaderships and the diplomatic debates with the Arab leaders and foreign ministers on the nomination of al-Aini for the post which is now occupied by Abdul Miguid since the beginning of the 1990 s.

Worthy mentioning that Mohsin al-Aini was a prime minister for Yemen in the 1970 s.
