Jordan says Syria won’t be invited to Arab summit
Jordan says Wednesday it won’t invite Syria to an Arab summit next month, five years after the bloc suspended Damascus over a harsh crackdown against protesters.
Jordan is set to host the Arab League’s annual summit near the Dead Sea on March 29.
“How the invitations are dealt with will be based on the decisions of the Arab League, and we will abide by what it has decided,” says Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi.
The bloc suspended Syria’s membership in late 2011 after anti-regime demonstrations were met with brutal repression.
