Occupation hinders
reform — FM
Foreign Minister Marwan Muahser on Monday shares a laugh with UN Secretary
General Kofi Annan at the United Nations in New York. Muasher told the UN
General Assembly that reform and development in the Middle East hinge on ending
the Israeli occupation of Arab territories, the Jordan News Agency, Petra,
reported.
He added that achieving regional reform is `extremely difficult' now because of the area's current situation. The minister, meanwhile, reiterated that Jordan supports Iraq's efforts to rebuild its institutions and restore regional and international position.
