Arab foreign ministers on Wednesday gathered in a meeting chaired by the Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and also attended by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Among the participants were nine Arab leaders, including Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al Sabah, the first Kuwaiti head of state to visit Iraq since the 1990 invasion of his country under executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
The AL summit endorsed a resolution on Syria proposed by the UN-AL special envoy Kofi Annan. The resolution seeks a cease-fire and political dialog in a bid to put an end to the prolonged unrest in the country.
The summit is also to focus on other regional issues including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
