Jordan denies differences with Syria

Jordan's foreign minister Marwan Muasher said that no differences took place between Jordan and Syria during the meetings of the Arab foreign ministers in Cairo on the background of Amman's support for the UN Security Council resolution number 1559 concerning Lebanon, noting that Jordan's position is "principled" in not opposing the UN Security Council resolutions.

In statements issued by the Jordanian dailies, the papers explained that he denied that there was a difference between him and his Syrian counterpart Farouk al-Shara during the meetings of the Arab league in Cairo.

Muasher also made it clear that there is "Arab majority against opposing the UN Security Council resolutions, and this was proved in that the (Arab) ministers did not deal with this matter in their final resolutions." He stressed " we have to make a distinction between a subject which is of concern to one Arab state and other issues like opposing UN Security Council resolutions which is not limited in concern to one Arab states," but is of concern to the majority of them.
