DAMASCUS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th January, 2019) Damascus received an invitation to attend the economic summit of the Arab League in Beirut, but refused to participate, Syrian Ambassador in Lebanon Ali Abdulkarim Ali said Thursday.
"We received an invitation from the Lebanese presidential office to participate in the economic summit.
It was natural to refuse," the diplomat said, adding that the refusal was dictated by the fact that "the Arab League did not fix the mistakes it had made in relation to Damascus."
Syrian membership in the organization has been frozen since 2011.
