The Conference of Foreign Ministers of Arab and African States was inaugurated in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, from April 19 to 22, 1976. This conference paved the way for the first-ever joint Arab-African summit in history. Undoubtedly, this new Arab-African meeting came at a critical stage in the Arab-African struggle for progress and development. During this period, Israeli influence in Africa declined due to the evolution of Arab-African relations and the African support for Arab causes, following the exposure of the true intentions of the Zionist entity regarding Africa’s unity and the security of its people. The resolutions of the Dakar Conference crowned these efforts by strengthening the work of joint Arab-African economic institutions and advancing the material, moral, and political support provided by Arab states to the African continent.
In light of this, the study is divided into three main sections. The first section addresses the Arab-African dialogue between the League of Arab States and the Organization of African Unity, which aimed to confront Zionist infiltration in Africa. The second section examines the first Arab-African Ministerial Conference in Dakar (April 19–22, 1976). The third section reviews the most important resolutions of the first Arab-African ministerial conference. The conclusion summarizes the key findings derived from the detailed presentation of the Dakar Conference.
