Arab foreign ministers commended Thursday Kuwait's plans to host international conferences on suffering of rights of Palestinian children, due next October, and education in Somalia.
The foreign ministers praised OIC's decision to open an office in Ramallah, urged the UNSC to condemn anew Israel's settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian lands and called for forcing the occupying authority to end the illegal and systematic settlement expansion.
They welcomed all international efforts to end Israeli occupation to ultimately establish independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
They called for providing an international protection for the Palestinian people, welcomed the EU's condemnation of the Israeli illegal settlements, called for documenting the Israeli violations against the Palestinian people and called on Palestine to join international agreements and organizations.
The foreign ministers supported all PLO's resolutions, and the struggle of the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation, urged the international community to hold Israel responsible for the crimes committed against the Palestinians, and said they were committed to the right of return of the Palestinians.
Meanwhile, the foreign ministers urged Arab countries and organizations to actively participate in Kuwait-hosted conference on education in Somalia.
They welcomed the Somali national reconciliation process and efforts of rebuilding the state institutions, condemned all criminal and terrorist acts against the Somali people and AU mission.
The ministers, on the other hand, expressed solidarity with the government of Sudan and rejected interference in its affairs as well as US sanctions. (pickup previous
