Cairo: The Arab League (AL) on Tuesday resumed its 135th session on the level of the permanent representatives to discuss the rest of items listed on its agenda to be submitted to the Arab League Council scheduled to be held tomorrow on the level of foreign ministers.

Concerning the Libyan issue, the AL is going to adopt a statement, upon a Syrian initiative, rejecting all forms of foreign intervention in Libya and stresses guaranteeing the Arab Libyan territorial integrity.

Syria's Permanent Ambassador to the Arab League Youssef Ahmad said that western forces' intervention in the Libyan issue does not stem from the principle of protecting the Libyan people and interests so much as it protects the interests and agendas of these western forces.

The AL General Assembly has finished preparations for hosting the 135th session on the level of foreign ministers tomorrow headed by Omani Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Yousef bin Alawi.
