Second Arab Economic Summit will take place in Sharm al Sheikh in Egypt today on the backdrop of Tunisian uprising and issue of the attacks on Christians in some parts of the region. The meeting has been called to discuss trade and development. Reports suggest that the meeting will certainly be overshadowed by the Tunisian uprising, which has emboldened the region's dissidents and led to protesters setting themselves ablaze. It will be the first time Arab heads of state gather since veteran Tunisian leader Zine El Abidine Ben Ali forced to flee last week after days of mass protests. Kuwait's Foreign Minister Mohammad al-Sabah has been quoted as saying that the Arab world is witnessing today unprecedented political developments and real challenges in the sphere of Arab national security.
