CAIRO — The Arab League announced Saturday that the Arab Foreign Ministers would hold a consultative meeting on June 8 in Qatar, which chairs the current session of the League Council at the level of Foreign Ministers.

In a statement, the League Assistant General Secretary Amb. Hussam Zaki said that the meeting "comes within the framework of the League's Council at the level of Foreign Ministers to intensify consultation of common issues especially the political ones."

He explained that the format of the "consultative" meeting is a "tradition at the level of the League Council that allows ministers to discuss and express their opinions informally without referring to any specific agenda or issuing any formal statements or document". — KUNA
