Mansour to Cairo ‘to Collaborate with Arab Countries on Regional Stability’

Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour travelled to Cairo on Saturday to attend an emergency Arab foreign ministers meeting on Syria, Libya and Yemen.

He told reporters at the Beirut airport that Lebanon “would collaborate with the Arab countries to have stability, calm and peace in the region.”

As Safir daily quoted a source as saying that Mansour and his Syrian counterpart are coordinating the stances that they would make at the meeting.

Any statement issued by the Arab foreign ministers requires Arab consensus in accordance with the Arab League by-laws, the source said, adding however that the Lebanese and Syrian viewpoints differ from that of Qatar which is seeking either Security Council action on Syria or the formation of an Arab follow-up committee similar to the one formed during the Lebanese civil war to pave way for the Taef conference.
