Amr Moussa: Arab summit in Tunisia in May

JERUSALEM POST: Amr Moussa: Arab summit in Tunisia in May

Amr Moussa told the London-based Arab newspaper al-Hayat that the Arab summit postponed by Tunisia last week is likely to be held in Tunisia in mid-May.

Meanwhile, the Japanese foreign office said that Moussa has cancelled a planned trip to Japan due to meetings being held in Arab capitals, reported Army Radio Tuesday.

Tunisia said it postponed the summit because of differences between Arab states over dealing with the US-backed Greater Middle East Initiative, a reform plan that has been met with strong opposition from Middle Eastern leaders.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.
