22/5/2008 17:10
Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa yesterday voiced his belief that
China will host a successful Olympics in Beijing.
"Arab countries will
actively participate in the Beijing Olympics and I hope this sporting event will
achieve success," Moussa told reporters after a China-Arab forum meeting in the
Bahraini capital in Manama yesterday.
He said China is an important global
player and the Beijing Olympics will definitely expand its influence.
The
Olympics gives everyone an equal opportunity to compete and should be kept apart
from politics, he added.
Although the Olympics was not a topic of discussion
in the third ministerial meeting of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum, Moussa
said many Arab delegates expressed their support for the upcoming
event.
