BEIRUT (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th January, 2019) The fifth Arab League Economic and Social Development Summit will place in four years in Mauritania, Arab League's Assistant Secretary-General Hossam Zaki said on Sunday.

"We, who gathered today at the economic and social development summit of the Arab League in Beirut, made a decision to hold the fifth summit in Mauritania in four years," Zaki said during his address to the summit.

The Arab League summit began in Beirut on Thursday with a session of a committee of specialized delegations, and is expected to conclude on Sunday. Almost all leaders of the league member-states, except for the Mauritanian president and the Qatari emir, refused to participate in the event, sending other high-level representatives instead.
