Arab Summit Says Capabilities of Lebanese Armed Forces should be Strengthened
Arab leaders lauded on Wednesday the role of the Lebanese armed forces, stressing the importance to consolidate their capabilities to reach stability in the country.
The closing statement of the two-day Arab League summit held in Kuwait also vowed full support to the Lebanese state and called for the necessary political and economic support to preserve its security and stability and sovereignty on all its territories.
The so-called Kuwait Declaration lauded “Lebanon's resistance against Israeli occupation, mainly in the July 2006 aggression.”
The Arab leaders expressed solidarity with the Lebanese Republic, called for the implementation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1701 and for putting an end to Israeli violations.
President Michel Suleiman addressed the summit on Tuesday, demanding Arab nations to share the burden of Syrian refugees.
He also urged them to encourage factions to keep the country at a distance from the ongoing turmoil in Syria.
