Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said Thursday accusations made by the International Criminal Court's (ICC) chief prosecutor against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir are "very dangerous."
Abul Gheit made the remarks at a press conference with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohamed Sabah al-Salem al-Sabah after a meeting of the Egyptian-Kuwaiti joint committee, the state MENA news agency reported.
Justice can only be achieved in Sudan through a political settlement, said Abul Gheit, stressing the importance of achieving stability and justice in the country.
Abul Gheit expected Arab foreign ministers, who were scheduled to discuss the disputes between Sudan and the Hague-based ICC on Saturday, to adopt a clear stance in this regard.
For his part, al-Sabah said Kuwait and Egypt share similar views towards the crisis between Sudan and the ICC.
Kuwait believes that the charges against al-Bashir would not solve problems in Sudan but would rather complicate the situation, he said.
On Monday, ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo formally requested an arrest warrant against al-Bashir for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the western Sudanese region of Darfur.
Sudan, which is not a member of the ICC, has rejected the ICC allegations against President al-Bashir, dismissing them as "null and false" and maintaining the ICC has no jurisdiction over Sudan.
