The Arab League (AL) General Secretariat is awaiting a written response from Mauritania regarding its official stance from hosting the Arab Summit in its 37th session, after Morocco withdrew from hosting the summit.
The remark was said by AL Secretary General Nabil el Araby in statements to reporters on Sunday.
Araby stopped short of answering when asked if Morocco's apology to host the Arab Summit came as a surprise or it was expected.
Meanwhile, Mauritanian Ambassador and permanent representative to the Arab League Weddy Ould Sidi Heibi told journalists to wait until tomorrow to announce his country's stance regarding hosting the summit.
The annual summit was initially set for March 29 in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh but had already been postponed to April 27 at Saudi Arabia’s request.
But Morocco has decided not to host the 2016 Arab League Summit.
A statement from the Moroccan foreign ministry said, "Amid the lack of important decisions and concrete initiatives to submit to the heads of states, this summit will be just another occasion to approve ordinary resolutions and to pronounce speeches that give a false impression of unity.
