Arab
League Secretary General Amr Moussa said he would visit Damascus and
Beirut soon to discuss facilitating implementation of the Arab
initiative on Lebanon.

Moussa
told the Saudi Medina daily consultations were "underway between the
Arab League and Damascus to set the date for the visit, which would be
followed by a visit to Beirut."

The
visits, according to Moussa, aim at "proceeding with tackling details
of the Lebanese crisis and trying to eliminate obstacles that prevent
implementation of the Arab initiative."

He
said the discussion of the Lebanese crisis in Kuwait on the sidelines
of a conference by Iraq's neighbors would "not result in decisions. It
only aims at exchanging views regarding the Lebanese crisis."
