Cairo : The Arab League will hold a ministerial-level emergency meeting Nov 12 to discuss the continued violence in Syria, the Egypt’s official MENA news agency reported Sunday.
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim had called for “an emergency Arab League council meeting at foreign minister level next Saturday to look at the latest developments in Syria,” Xinhua quoted the news agency as saying.
The Syrian government has accepted an Arab initiative to end the country’s seven-month-long turmoil.
The meeting, after an Arab League committee meeting to be attended by foreign ministers of some Arab countries slated for October 11 evening, will focus on “the continuing violence and the government’s failure to stick to its obligations under the Arab Action Plan to solve the crisis in Syria”.
