INTRODUCTION<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.\t<\/span>The twenty-third ASEAN Ministerial Meeting of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) was held at Jakarta on 24 and 25 July 1990.  The meeting was formally opened by His Excellency President Soeharto of the Republic of Indonesia.<\/p><\/div>\n

REVIEW OF THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\/…<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

MIDDLE EAST<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

66.\t<\/span>The Foreign Ministers reviewed the situation in the Middle East and expressed concern that, despite positive developments taking place on the international scene, the situation in the occupied territories continues to deteriorate. They stressed the urgency for a settlement and reaffirmed their strong support for the International Peace Conference on the Middle East, under the auspices of the Â鶹APP, in order to achieve a just, comprehensive and lasting solution. They reiterated their full support for the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable rights, including the right to self-determination and independence, and the restoration of Arab sovereignty over the occupied territories.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

67.\t<\/span>The Foreign Ministers deplored the creation of new settlements of Jewish immigrants in the Arab occupied territories by Israel.  This unjustified act has serious consequences, including changes in the balance of the demographic composition, which would further complicate the search for a political solution to the conflict. This is also in violation of the relevant Â鶹APP resolutions, basic principles of international law, especially the fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, as well as the basic rights of the Palestinian people.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

68.\t<\/span>The Foreign Ministers expressed their regret over the suspension by the United States of its dialogue with the PLO and called for its early resumption. They expressed their conviction that such a dialogue is an essential ingredient for resolving the Middle East conflict.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

LEBANON<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

69.\t<\/span>The Foreign Ministers reiterated their deep concern over the continuing conflict in Lebanon. They reaffirmed their support for the full sovereignty, territorial integrity and national unity of Lebanon. They expressed their belief that the Taif Agreement provides a suitable framework for dialogue and negotiations to preserve the integrity, independence and sovereignty of Lebanon and therefore urged all parties concerned to respect and accept the Taif Agreement.<\/p><\/div>\n
