Beirut - Arabstoday
Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour will head on Friday to Cairo to join an annual meeting for the Arab League Foreign Ministers on March 10, As Safir newspaper reported. The meeting will tackle the developments in the Arab world especially in Syria and Palestine. Lebanon decided to dissociate itself from the turmoil in Syria in order to maintain the stable situation in the country. The Arab Foreign Ministers will also meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to discuss the crisis in Syria. The talks come amid growing fury in the region at Russia\'s refusal to condemn its Soviet-era ally after nearly a year of violence that the opposition says has claimed more than 7,600 lives. Moscow along with Beijing has twice wielded its Security Council veto to block U.N. action on the crisis in Syria, first in October last year and again in February.
