The Arab summit will be postponed until March, 2012, an official told Xinhua after a meeting between Arab League (AL) Secretary-General Amr Moussa and Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari on Thursday.
The AL said in a statement that the summit will take place in Baghdad.
The summit, which was initially scheduled in March this year, was once delayed to this May due to the political turmoil in the region.
