- Story Text: The international envoy for Syria Lakhdar Brahimi met with Egypt's Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy in Cairo on Saturday (October 19) to discuss a proposed international conference aimed at ending Syria's bloody civil war.
On Thursday (October 17) a senior Syrian official said that the long-delayed international conference was scheduled for November 23-24, but co-organisers Russia and the United States said no date had been set.
Brahimi will hold further talks with the Arab League on Sunday (October 20).
A spokeswoman for Brahimi also said that the timing of the conference intended to bring Syria's government and opposition together had not yet been agreed.
The deal reached last month for Syria to scrap its chemical weapons rekindled efforts to convene the conference, dubbed "Geneva 2," which Russia and the United States have been trying to organise since May.
While Brahimi is in the Middle East, Assad's international opponents will gather in London on Tuesday (October 22). - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
