'Arab summit must bridge gap between Arabs'

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has expressed hope that the upcoming Arab Summit will produce an outcome that bridges the gap between Arab nations and consolidates solidarity among them.

During a meeting with visiting Libyan Foreign Minister Mousa Kousa in Damascus on Sunday, Assad stated that the next Arab Summit — which is to be held in the Libyan capital Tripoli from March 27 to 28 — must come up with resolutions that serve Arab interests, particularly the Palestinian cause, and an Arab action plan to lift the siege of the Gaza Strip, the SANA news agency reported.

Kousa delivered an invitation to the Syrian president from Libyan Leader Muammar Qadhafi, asking him to attend the summit. The Libyan foreign minister also praised Syria's efforts to make the summit in Libya a great success.

Assad promised to attend the Arab Summit and stressed the importance of preparing well for the topics to be included on the summit's agenda and working hard to implement its resolutions.
