Iraq-Regional, Politics, 9/30/2002

The Paris based al-Muharrir news weekly said in its recent issue that the Iraqi foreign minister Naji Sabri informed the secretary general of the Arab League (AL) Amr Moussa that the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is ready to put his resignation at the disposal of an Arab summit to be held in Baghdad, being plenary or mini, but he stressed that Saudi Arabia participation in this summit is necessary.

The paper quoted Sabri as saying to the AL chief, Amr Moussa, that Saddam Hussein welcomes the Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz which he considers as "a friend and: a dear brother."

The magazine said also that, according to well-informed sources, the Iraqi president enthusiastically showed readiness to attend a mini Arab summit if such a summit is held in Saudi Arabia.
