On Syria's absence from the Arab Summit that will be held in March, Momani said that when the Syrian crisis began, the Arab League took a decision to suspend Syria's membership that was followed by another decision to withdraw the ambassadors. "We were committed to the first decision, but we requested that Jordan be excluded from the second decision like Algeria and Lebanon as we have common interest with Syria," he said, adding that the Arab League accepted that.
