SIRTE, Libya - Arab foreign ministers met on Thursday morning to put the finishing touches on the agenda of the upcoming Arab summit, to be held on Saturday, and the draft resolutions to be submitted to the gathering of Arab leaders. The meeting is chaired by Moussa Kusa, the Secretary to Libya's People's Committee for Foreign Liaison and International Cooperation. He told the opening session of the meeting that Arab states need to take an active action to lift the siege imposed on the Palestinian people and to salvage Jerusalem. In his speech, Kusa also praised Arab leaders' efforts to defend the Arab nation and efforts by Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa to enhance joint Arab action in all domains. Qatari Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Ahmed Abdullah al- Mahmoud handed over the chairmanship of the meeting to his Libyan counterpart. "The Arab world is faced with many crisis and challenges, which have put them in the teeth of the storm. The worst result would be a crisis of confidence among Arab countries," said al-Mahmoud. The ministers will discuss a draft resolution on developments in the Palestinian territories, solidarity with Lebanon and the Golan Heights, as well as a Syrian initiative on drawing up a mechanism for managing inter-Arab division and the UAE's proposal on combating international terrorism.
