Al-Malki: Arab FMs adopted all draft resolutions on Palestine
KUWAIT, March 23 (KUNA) -- Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Malki said here on Sunday the meeting of Arab Foreign Ministers today discussed and adopted all the draft resolutions which will be referred to the 25th Arab summit due here Tuesday.
Al-Malki said at a press conference that today's meeting focused on the overall Arab issues, including the Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese issues, in addition to the outcomes of the Economic and Social Council of the Arab League.
He added that the Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas would deliver a speech before the Arab summit focusing on the known Palestinian stance and outcome of his recent visit to the United States.
Al-Malki welcomed the parliamentary and diplomatic efforts launched by the Arab Parliamentary Union in supporting the Palestinian cause including its resolution adopted in its 20th conference that was held in Kuwait last January on entrusting Kuwaiti National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim to form an Arab parliamentary delegation to visit United Nations Security Council's member states and international organizations to probe the Israeli violations against Islamic and Christian holy shrines in Jerusalem.
He urged the Arab parliaments to implement these resolutions as soon as possible, adding that all needed efforts would be facilitated to achieve this objective.
He urged the Arab states to continue their financial support of the Palestinian people especially those pledged in previous summits.
Asked about Kuwait's recognition of the Palestinian passport, Al-Malki said he has not yet had the opportunity to discuss this issue with the Kuwaiti side, saying that he would discuss this matter with the Kuwaiti Foreign Minister.
