H. E. Mr. Nabil Fahmy, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, met with Mr. Omar Bula Escobar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

His Excellency Mr Nabil Fahmy, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, met with Mr Omar Bula Escobar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

During the meeting, Mr Fahmy reaffirmed the Arab position rejecting recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan, stressing the importance of Colombia reviewing its position in this regard in a manner consistent with international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

Mr Fahmy also emphasised the importance of states refraining from taking any measures that could prejudice final-status issues between the Palestinians and Israelis.

He noted that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, within the framework of the two-State solution, is the only path to achieving stability and security in the region.
