OIC Resolutions, appropriate for current developments

Egypt's Foreign Minister Amr Moussa said that the resolutions of the ninth OIC summit reflect the Islamic world's views and outlook on conditions inside Palestine.

As regards his meeting with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saudi Al-Faysal, Moussa said.That they had consulted over current events and coordinated stands in the service of the Arab causes.

Answering another query on Egypt-Lebanon ties following his meeting with Prime Minister Rafik Harari of Lebanon, Moussa said Egypt and Lebanon are always working closely in addressing issues of common interest.

Also, Moussa made it clear that the Arab States would participate in the Marseilles Europe-Mediterranean meeting, to start Wednesday.

"The Arabs would not boycott the meeting," he said.
