Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi said yesterday he would not seek a second term as secretary general of the pan-Arab body after his present term ends in July.
Arabi, 80, took over as League chief from fellow Egyptian diplomat Amr Moussa in 2011.
He had served as foreign minister in the Egyptian government that came to power after the ouster of longtime president Hosni Mubarak earlier that year.
“I have asked the Egyptian government not to think about renewing my mandate,” Arabi told reporters at the League’s headquarters in Cairo, adding that his present tenure would end in early July.
Traditionally, the secretary general of Arab League has held the post for two terms, and Cairo has always insisted that it be held by an Egyptian diplomat.
