Moscow, May 8 – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Al-Kinani said today, Monday, that the resumption of Syria’s participation in the activities of the Arab League contributes to establishing stability in the region and reducing foreign interference in its problems.
The heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the League of Arab States, during their extraordinary meeting on Sunday, approved the return of Syria to the regional organization after a 12-year hiatus.
“The resolution of differences between Islamic countries (Syria’s return to the League of Arab States – ed.) and rapprochement and synergy between them have positive results in terms of stability and global peace and a basis for limiting selfish interference. The Islamic Republic of Iran News Agency quoted Al-Kinani as saying, “Foreign forces are in regional problems The Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes this approach.
Syria’s membership in the League of Arab States was suspended in November 2011 after the outbreak of armed conflict in the country. A number of Arab countries summoned their ambassadors from Damascus. Then the Syrian leadership announced that it did not accept the decision of the Arab ministers to stop participating in the work of the Arab National Organization, considering it illegal. At the same time, the Arab League did not actually participate in the settlement negotiations in Syria, although we are talking about one of the main countries in the Arab world.
