Syrian President: Affairs should be rearranged without foreign interventions

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Friday delivered his speech to the 32nd session of the Arab League Summit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

According to Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), Assad said “We have to search about the big titles that pose threat to our future and produce our crises in order to not drown in addressing the results, not the reasons.”

He said the headlines are too many for words, and summits are not enough… They do not begin with the crimes of the Zionist entity, which is rejected by the Arabs, and do not end with the danger of the Ottoman expansionist mentality and are inseparable from the challenge of development as a top priority for our developing societies, here comes the role of the League of Arab States as the natural platform for discussing various issues and addressing them.

“We are in front of a historic opportunity to rearrange our affairs with the least amount of foreign intervention,” the Syrian president said.

He added that the joint Arab action is in need of common visions, strategies and targets.

The Syrian president hoped the Summit would be a starting point for the Arab action, solidarity among Arab states to achieve peace, prosperity and development in the region instead of war and destruction.

Assad added that the cracks that have emerged over the last decade must be addressed, and the most important thing is to let the people manage their internal affairs and avoid external interference in their affairs.

At the end of his speech, he thanked Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Aal-e Saud and his heir apparent Mohammad bin Salman for the role of Saudi Arabia and its efforts to boost reconciliation in the Arab region and make this summit a success.
