PM chairs Arab League meeting

The Ministerial Meeting of the Arab Peace Initiative Committee (APIC) started at the Arab League Headquarters yesterday to discuss the deadlocked Middle East peace process.

The meeting is chaired by HE the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor al-Thani, representing Qatar, which chairs the 21 session of the Arab League Council at summit level.

The meeting is attended by Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Sudan, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Syria, and Palestine along with the UAE, which requested to attend the meeting.

The committee is scheduled to discuss means of elaborating a unified Arab stance towards the peace process in light of the declining US position on the cessation of settlements activity and the Palestinian president’s decision not to seek re-election in polls scheduled for January 2010.
