TunisiaSpeech by HR/VP Mogherini at the 30th Ordinary Session of the Arab League Summit
The Summit we had showed that we may not agree on all the issues, we may have differences and we do have differences, but we share the same understanding: that it is only by investing in cooperation that we are serving our joint interests.
A divided and sectarian Syria is not a solution. Leaving the Palestinians without a state is not a solution. Ignoring UN Security Council Resolutions on the Golan Heights is not a solution. And let me be very clear: the European Union will continue to not recognise Israeli sovereignty over the territories occupied in 1967.
We have a duty to invest in real solutions, win-win solutions. So let me just focus on four concrete actions that we can and we should urgently take together, to prevent more violence and eventually take the path of peace and reconciliation all across our region. There is much wisdom in the Arab proverb that says, if I am not wrong, that “a tree begins with a seed”. I believe that what we are doing together is planting the seeds for a more cooperative, peaceful regional dynamic.
