Posted on by

The Arab Summit commended, at the end of its proceedings Friday in Jeddah, Morocco’s efforts to settle the situation in Libya, as well as the Kingdom’s solidarity with Yemen. In a decision on the developments in Libya, the Arab Summit stressed the importance of relying on the Libyan Political Agreement signed in Skhirat in 2015 for a political settlement, as well as for its full implementation. His Majesty King Mohammed VI is represented at this Summit by His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid. The Arab leaders also highlighted the efforts made by the Kingdom of Morocco with its Arab brothers in solidarity with Yemen, contributing to the reconstruction program and economic recovery of this country. In this sense, the Summit reaffirmed support for everything that guarantees the security and stability of Yemen and realizes the aspirations of the Yemeni people, as well as for international and regional efforts aimed at reaching a comprehensive political solution to the crisis in this country, based on the three references represented in the Gulf initiative and its implementation mechanisms, the results of the Yemeni national dialogue and the relevant Security Council resolutions. The Arab Summit stressed the importance of stopping foreign interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries, and the total refusal to support the formation of armed groups and militias outside the framework of state institutions, noting that internal military conflicts prevent the realization of the aspirations of states and peoples. In the same vein, the Summit affirmed that sustainable development, security, stability and peace are inherent rights of the Arab citizen, which would be achieved through intensified and integrated efforts, fighting firmly and at the highest level against crime and corruption, and mobilizing energies and capacities to create a future that can serve as a reinforcement for security and stability in the region.
