LONDON, Dec 17 (KUNA) -- Kuwait is keen on supporting the Arab states' efforts in all international arenas, especially those related to the Palestinian cause, Kuwait's permanent representative to the Arab League Aziz Al-Dehani said here on Wednesday.
He added in remarks to KUNA that he visited London and Paris as part of the Arab League's ministerial delegation plan, aiming at mobilizing international support to the Arab draft resolution presented to the United Nation's Security Council to end the Israeli occupation and establish a Palestinian state.
Kuwait is heading the Arab summit's current session, besides the Arab Peace Initiative Committee according to the Arab League's ministerial law number 7850, issued in November 29 of year 2017.
The Arab visiting delegation met the Foreign Ministers of France, US, and UK to discuss the draft resolution, besides discussing the French draft resolution which comes in accordance with the Arab one, he added.
The diplomat applauded the positive atmosphere of the negotiations, stressing the importance of establishing an independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital, as the comprehensive fair peace in the Middle East will not be achieved otherwise.
Temporary resolutions and partial settlements are not accepted anymore "if we are willing to witness security and stability in the region", he affirmed.
The Arab Peace Initiative Committee, headed by Kuwait, includes the memberships of Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Yemen, UAE, and Oman. (end) kd.lb
