SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his Syrian counterpart Bashar Assad called Wednesday for a Middle East region free of weapons of mass destruction.
A joint statement issued at the end of a one-day summit meeting in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh said "the developments taking place in the region reaffirmed the need to free the Middle East from all weapons of mass destruction including those possessed by Israel."
The two Arab leaders also underscored the importance of boosting Iraq's stability, unity and territorial integrity by restoring its sovereignty and transferring powers to the Iraqi people within a definite timetable.
Mubarak and Assad reiterated their commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East within the framework of the Arab peace initiative endorsed unanimously at the Beirut Arab summit in 2001.
The initiative called for trading land for peace stipulating Israel's withdrawal from the Arab territories it captured in the June 1967 Mideast war and establishing a viable and independent Palestinian state.
