The Arab ministerial committee will hold talks with the Syrian leadership and the opposition, in the hope of helping them reach a national dialogue aimed at stopping violence in Syria, said Arabi in a statement.
Arabi added that the AL aimed at stopping all forms of violence in Syria to create appropriate atmosphere for a peaceful political solution, to ensure stability of the country, and to avoid foreign intervention or a civil war.
He said preparations were under way for a scheduled visit by the ministerial committee to Syria`s capital of Damascus Wednesday.
The secretary-general said that the AL and the ministerial committee didn`t issue warnings for threats, but sought to rally the Arab efforts to help Syria get out of its current crisis.
At an emergency meeting held in Egypt`s capital of Cairo on Oct. 16, the AL foreign ministers called on the Syrian government and all opposition parties in and outside Syria to hold a meeting in the AL headquarters within 15 days.
They decided to form a ministerial committee, which is presided by Qatar with representatives from Algeria, Sudan, Oman and Egypt, to participate in Syria`s national dialogue.
Syrian authorities recently said the country welcomed the impending visit of the Arab ministerial committee.
