CAIRO – 26 July 2017: Secretary-General of Arab League (AL) Ahmed Abul Gheit asserted on Wednesday that Arab immigrants and refugees issue should be given priority on the international agenda especially in these exceptional conditions.

These remarks were made in the AL statement during a meeting between Abul Gheit and Deputy Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Laura Thompson.
