Syria snubbed
DAMASCUS, (SANA) - Syria and Norway discussed on Thursday the constant Israeli aggression on Lebanon and the need to rally international efforts to reach out at a ceasefire in Lebanon and Palestine.
Foreign minister Walid al-Mouallem held talks with Director of the Middle East and North Africa Directorate at the Norwegian foreign ministry.
“It is a need to give room to diplomatic efforts to exchange prisoners and then head to realize just and comprehensive peace in the region that guarantees security and stability,” the Minister stressed.
The Syrian Foreign Minister visits Norway and is relegated to meeting a bureaucrat? That’s how it goes when you allow the torching of embassies over cartoons.
But in any case, in a marginally saner world, Mouallem would not be in Norway at all. He would be busy negotiating with Condoleezza Rice.
