Arab Leaders start works of 21st Arab Summit 2 Doha

Addressing the inaugural session, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad
shed light on the events witnessed by the region and the world,
notably the global financial crisis.


"The world does not serve except the one who serves himself and it
does not restore rights except to the one who works for the
restoration of his right and fights for them', said President
Al-Assad.


He pointed out to the Arab reconciliation announced by the Custodian
of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz at the Arab
economic summit held in Kuwait, and reiterated the importance of the
Arab reconciliation at this stage, because it is the way for serving
the joint Arab work.

He hoped that a Palestinian national unity government would be
established for serving the Palestinian people.


Al-Assad rejected the arrest warrant issued by the International
Criminal Court against Sudanese President Omar al-Basheer, and called
for taking a firm Arab stand in this respect.
