Saudi Arabia says convening Arab summit requires good preparations for
success
Saudi Arabia, Politics, 1/2/99
Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, Saudi Arabia's second deputy prime minister
and minister of defense and aviation denied that Riyadh is hesitant toward
attending an Arab summit.
He said that Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council states want
the summit meeting to have solid preparations and to be based on genuine
efforts to serve the Arab and Islamic states.
Prince Sultan renewed Saudi Arabia's refusal to use its territories to
launch strikes against Iraq, saying "Saudi Arabia was never asked to and it
will not agree on such a procedure."
The Saudi prince said "I do not believe that there is an escalation between
our brothers in Iraq and the United States, where it is a misunderstanding,
and I hope that our brothers in Iraq could know their interests well, and
so our friends as well, have to seek Iraq's interest.
"In the end the solution will be that everybody has to stick to the United
Nations and Security Council resolutions," he said, adding that his country
opposes the escalation of the crisis and hoped to calm the crisis down.

Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz has accused Jordan's Crown Prince
Hassan of intervening in Iraq's affairs and criticized Crown Prince Hassan
as well as of not denouncing last month's US - British military actions
against Iraq.

Jordanian officials who in return behaved as they were the regents of the
Iraqi people.
Crown Prince Hassan confirmed during the Arab parliamentarians' meeting in
Amman last Sunday that Jordan hopes that Iraq's people could enjoy freedom
and democracy.
Aziz stated that during the meeting Crown Prince Hassan overlooked the
topic about which they all gathered -- the US -- British military action
against Iraq.
Kuwait calls for final solution to Iraqi problem before it will attend a
summit
Kuwait, Politics, 1/2/99
Kuwait's permanent delegate at the Arab League told ArabicNews.com that he
informed Arab League Secretary General Esmat Abdul Meguid of his country's
refusal to participate in any Arab summit attended by the Iraqi government.
He said that as a precondition to any summit, there must be a reaching of a
"radical solution" to the issues and problems resulting from the Iraqi
invasion of Kuwait, problems topped by the issue of prisoners of war and
the Iraqi recognition of Kuwait's borders according to the resolution of
the United Nations Security Council.
Kuwait's delegate also called for not raising the issue of "uplifting
sanctions from the Iraqi government" in any Arab summit, as this issue is
considered a UN Security Council's concern.
