On Sunday, Arab foreign ministers wrapped up in Algiers a two-day meeting held prior to the summit by adopting the draft final declaration that inter alia calls for the energising of the Arab Peace Initiative approved by the Beirut 2002 Summit. The draft declaration also includes the reform and the enlargement of the Security Council and the development of Arab common action through the reforming of the Arab league mechanisms, as well as resolutions on Iraq and Palestine.
