The Iraqi Foreign Ministry announced the approval of the meeting of Arab foreign ministers for the return of Syria to its seat in the Arab League.
Ministry spokesman Ahmed Al-Sahhaf told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that “the meeting of Arab foreign ministers agreed on Syria’s return to its seat in the Arab League.”
He added, “Dialogue diplomacy and Arab integration efforts embraced by Iraq have provided a real effort to bring Syria back into the Arab League.
Al-Sahhaf announced earlier that Iraq renews its position on the Syrian issue, the importance of its return to its seat in the Arab League, which contributes to strengthening its security and stability, as well as the issue in Sudan, that we are committed to the importance of embracing dialogue as a means of ending the current situation.
During the Arab Foreign Ministers’ session, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said that the only way to resolve the Syrian crisis is a political solution without outside interference, adding: “There is no military solution to the Syrian crisis.
He explained: “All forms of terrorism must be eliminated in Syria.
The Arab League suspended Syria’s membership in 2011 when civil war broke out.
Recently, some Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, have resumed dealing with Syria through high-level visits and meetings.
Arab countries are trying to find a consensus on the possibility of inviting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to participate in the Arab League summit on May 19 in Riyadh to discuss the pace of resuming relations and the conditions to allow the return of Syria.
