Cairo, May 3 (Petra) -- An emergency Arab Foreign Ministers meeting due to take place on Thursday has been deferred until later this month, an Arab League source announced on Tuesday.
It said the postponement was requested by the United Arab Emirates UAE, current president of the Gulf Cooperation Council GCC, due to other commitments by Arab ministers, including an international meeting on Libya in Rome on the same day.
"The Arab League Secretariat held consultations after the UAE request was made that resulted in postponement and a new date will be set within the next two days," added, the sources.
