it is very interesting that this summit alone comes at this time and this is the first ever arab lead or league of arab states eu summit, 49 different nations will be represented here, 21 from the arab league, and 28 from the european union. and when you try to sort of look at it and say why now, why this timing, one of the fundamental issues and on the big item on the agenda here, of course, will be migration and terrorism. and when you look at that issue of brexit and the way that the european union has dealt with the issue of migration coming from the arab region, spilling over from the war in syria, which has had that big disruptive force on europe, which was one of the key factors that led to that referendum and the vote in the referendum in the united kingdom for -- to trigger brexit, in many ways a whole summit, though it will be about climate, it will be about economy, and it will be about security, in many ways this summit itself is a recognition of the types of issues of brexit that europe is facing at the moment because the arab league has been calling for this type of summit for abo
