CAIRO, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday signed an agreement on setting up an Arab-Russian cooperation forum, Egypt's MENA news agency reported.
In statements on Monday, Lavrov made it clear that the agreement will further boost Arab-Russian relations. It aims at developing relations between Russia and the Arab League in all fields, starting from bilateral consultations on regional and international issues, he said.
Lavrov invited Moussa to visit Moscow to follow up the accord, which he said, was agreed upon during a visit paid to the league's headquarters by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in June.
