Prince Saud Al-Faisal and UK foreign minister hold press conference 4 Riyadh
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 23 - 04 - 2008

Faisal said "in fact, the important thing in Iraq is Iraq's unity, independence and sovereignty. These points can not be pushed forward by the existence or non-existence of embassies. The real reason for the lack of embassies in Baghdad is not political, but purely lack of security. When security conditions are ripe, embassies will no doubt go there. This is not proof of the lack of support for the action needed to ensure the unity and independence of Iraq and does not mean there is any downgrading in relations between the two countries. Therefore, we hope that the Iraqi government would be able to provide the required capabilities to protect embassies in Iraq. What is important is the Arab effort in contributing to the requirements provided to ensure national reconciliation in Iraq and ensure the unity and independence of Iraq. These Arab efforts do exist within the framework of the Arab League.
He recalled the convenening of the first national reconciliation conference which was held at the Arab League in Cairo and the following efforts up to now. Recently, the Arab League Secretary-General announced that there is a plan now to convene an Arab League meeting in Iraq. There is no reservation by Arab countries to contact the Iraqi government nor to be present on the Iraqi territories, Prince Saud Al-Faisal said.
