Moussa extols Arab efforts for Lebanon as successful

By KUNA,

Damascus : Visiting Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa on Monday commended common Arab action on Lebanon as “successful” and having made a major achievement.

Moussa was speaking to reporters following a meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem.

Fruitful Arab efforts for Lebanon would lead to more favorable points and activities on other Arab fronts, he said.

Moussa hailed the Syrian role in the settlement of the Lebanese standoff.

“No buts, the Syrian role was important and decisive,” he said.

However, the Arab League chief called for healing inter-Arab splits and rifts, which he billed as a scourge that posed a menace to the Arab world.

“What has happened in Lebanon is very encouraging for settling inter-Arab disputes,” he added.

Asked about Syrian-Saudi relations, Moussa said efforts should be exerted to improve such ties, pointing to Arab-Syrian fence-mending efforts.
