AFP - Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi said on Sunday that Syria has agreed to host him for a probable visit this week to the strife-torn country.
"I have been informed that Syria welcomes" the visit which would take place "probably this week," Arabi told a news conference at his pan-Arab organisation's headquarters in Cairo.
"I will express Arab concerns and I will listen," he said.
Syria said last week that an August 27 statement passed by Arab League foreign minister on the country's bloodshed contained "unacceptable and biased language," leaving Arabi to await a green light for a proposed visit.
In a diplomatic note seen by AFP, Syria's delegation said the declaration was issued "despite the meeting having closed with an agreement that no statement would be published or statement made to the press."
Damascus said it would act as if the statement had never been published.
The Arab League announced an initiative aimed at solving the crisis in Syria where more than 2,200 people have been killed in anti-regime protests since mid-March, to be delivered in person by its secretary general, Arabi.
The 22-member organisation's foreign ministers called for an "end to the spilling of blood and (for Syria) to follow the way of reason before it is too late."
The foreign ministers also called for respecting "the right of the Syrian people to live in security and of their legitimate aspirations for political and social reforms."

A new totally unbiased UN can make the world better peaceful!
What if, Obama and UN approve a new law to be internationally passed in the future that will make mandatory for every voter to use digital electronic tools like cellphones, laptop etc. through any of the social business networking programs such as Facebook for voting , banking, job, education etc, allowing unrestricted UN / Governments access to the activities of every citizen of the 'to be crime-free new world' then, good citizens shall have nothing to fear but be happy to enjoy safety and freedom and bad citizens wouldn't have no choice but become better!
When a single or a group of individuals becomes too caucious about privacy laws etc. it has surely something to hide.
If all they wanted is money, they got it and still can make it elsewhere like China, India, Pakistan etc. But for what? There hardly one can nitice signs of happyness or smiles in on their face. Why? Are there some mysterious CIA facts yet to be learned by global public? I honestly say: Kudos to the... more
If all they wanted is money, they got it and still can make it elsewhere like China, India, Pakistan etc. But for what? There hardly one can notice signs of happiness or smiles on their face. Why? Are there some mysterious CIA facts yet to be learned by global public? I honestly say: Kudos to the dysfunctional smartness of human brain including the negatively powerful side of it too, which can turn boredom into exitement to make societal living for all, a bit colorful for a while. What would be the world without mind boggling incidents but some groups unfortunately, having too much money at their disposal cannot smile as a natural expression of enjoying life.
Obama is blessed if he may continue smiling naturally as he is doing.....
Now a serious fact follows: Because of Media heads' intentional or poor understanding of the scenes behind the scenes, up until now, the few heads in operating government powers confusingly undersood by the global Public as land pieces of Country-power which are in fact fake-powerful like parer-tigers; e.g. representing North Korea, Iran, Yemen, Bahrain, China, Pakistan, India etc. By the grace of Cosmic Creator the above are in serial for gradually becoming possible cosmic targets in an unprecedented "Non-violent, secularly occurring manner without usage of weapons by the opposition" of regime change after Syria. The Public of above pieces of lands should not feel threatened at all, as "Latest fashioned New kind of Politics will avoid old 'Do or Die, Kill or be Killed etc. situations and strategies and must not cause anyone to perish by guns but monetary sanctions only; moreover, shall try to save old minded political leaders from being killed by the unwise mob-like portion of the agitated public or put on pre-determined dishonest trials.
The maximum non-capital punishment administered by UN's ICC type totally unbiased body the failed leaders may receive is "with some conditions, "Suspended death sentences" for committing crimes against humanity. No territorial part of the mankind and /or proved good leaders (who dishonestly never blasts bombs and points at others like old style IAHs' secret manner) are to be blamed for secularly occurring new ways of changes, rather all should praise the gift of greatness: the digital communication tool of Microsoft technology for making the change easier through awareness to the benefit of humanity on earth!We need not to believe anything that does not make common sense. The intuitive sense of mankind constantly getting sharper and can perceive what actually happening behind apparent scenarios, therefore, do not take blindly for granted whatever news the Medias broadcasts! Now, the first questions they got used to in asking is something like: 'How do you know for sure who is claiming what? Dirty old style dishonest politics?However, all these prove that hereditary style transfer of ruler-ship has already become unpopular in the closely connected and digitally communicated public minds of the rapidly changing world!But I am glad that my Canada's actual ruler: the Queen is wise enough not to make her hands dirty by doing any of the nasty things like the other small rulers do. I am so proud of her honesty and intellectuality! God bless her.
