Cairo, Oct 20 (IANS): The second Syria peace conference will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, Nov 23-24, said Arab League (AL) chief Nabil al-Arabi at a press conference here Sunday.
He said he was informed of the date by visiting UN-AL joint special envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi at the Pan-Arab group's headquarters in Cairo, Xinhua reported.
During their meeting, the two evaluated the regional and international efforts toward a political solution to the Syrian crisis, and discussed the current preparation for the conference and the contacts made with Syria's conflicting sides, especially with the national opposition coalition.
