Mubarak, Moussa mull proposals to improve Arab League performance
Regional-Egypt, Politics, 12/2/2003

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak received Monday morning Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa.

In statements following the meeting, Moussa said that he presented to the President proposals on the Arab League's expected reform.

He added that these proposals are being examined by the Arab League with the aim of finding a new formula for Arab action in preparation for referring them to the coming Arab summit to be held in Tunis in March.

He said that the proposals include radical amendments to political, economic, trade administrative and social sectors as well as everything pertaining to Arab action.

All these proposes fall within initiatives launched by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Yemen and other states, he said, adding that he values the President's views in this respect.

Moussa said that he submitted the draft of the restructure of the Arab joint action which was concluded by Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the Chairman of the next round of the Arab Summit.

The proposals have been sent out to all AL member states and are waiting for their response and any amendments, he added.

A ministerial meeting will likely be held to discuss the proposals and development of the joint Arab action, said AL Chief.
