Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa warned that Lebanon remains in danger because ""regional threats reflect on it.""

The Arab League chief also emphasized to the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat on the need to ""safeguard Lebanon against many regional developments that could affect its stability."" Moussa expressed satisfaction with ""the several steps that have been implemented within the framework of responding to the Arab initiative and the Doha accord, including the ongoing reconciliatory efforts that should be backed and supported.""
He specifically mentioned the intra-Christian reconciliation process ""and the various efforts between the Mustaqbal Movement and Hezbullah as well as the improving atmosphere between Democratic Gathering leader Walid Jumblat and Hezbullah.""
Lebanese-Syrian relations are ""improving,"" Moussa said. ""This development could help in tackling any doubts or disturbances.""
Moussa said he plans a visit to Syria next month for talks with officials in Damascus on ""the various problems in the Arab world.""
