Damascus : Leaders and representatives from 21 Arab countries wrapped up the 20th Arab League (AL) summit on Sunday and adopted Damascus Declaration on a series of key Arab issues read out by AL Secretary General Amr Moussa.
The two-day summit, starting from midday Saturday at the Ummayad Palace in the southern suburb of Damascus, brought together only 11 Arab leaders, including President Bashar al-Assad.
Lebanon announced on Tuesday to shun the summit, urging the Arabs to tackle Lebanon’s months-long political deadlock.
Pro-Western Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan also decided to send only low-key delegations to the gathering in a snub to Damascus over its alleged role in blocking a Lebanese presidential election.
