CAIRO, Feb. 8  -- Foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq agreed here Monday on the importance of stopping all forms of foreign interventions in the Arab countries' affairs, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The three top diplomats stressed that only the political solutions could settle the conflicts that some Arab countries like Syria, Libya, and Yemen have been suffering from, the statement said.

They also exchanged opinions about the Palestinian cause and the peace process, the statement added, noting that the three FMs also discussed the common efforts for combating terrorism and maintaining the security and safety of the region.

The foreign ministers also reviewed regional issues of mutual concern and discussed means to boost joint relations and carrying out the strategic projects that pour in the interests of the three sides, the statement added.

The Egyptian and the Jordanian foreign ministers touched upon means of providing a suitable environment to bring the Israeli-Palestinian sides to the table of serious negotiations, it added.

The tripartite meeting has come ahead of an emergency Arab League foreign ministers' meeting set later in Cairo on the Palestinian cause that was called upon by Egypt and Jordan.
