Region
(Voices of Iraq) - The Arab summit, which was held in the Saudi capital Riyadh, approved a draft resolution on developments in Iraq, which asserts Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, its Arab and Islamic identity and rejects any plans to divide it, well-informed sources in Riyadh said on Thursday.
“The resolution also underlines the importance of not interfering in Iraq’s internal affairs,” participating Arab diplomatic sources told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI). “Arab leaders and heads of delegations agreed on the resolution during the closed session late Wednesday,” they added.
The 19th Arab summit kicked off on Wednesday in Riyadh with the participation of all Arab countries except Libya.
