Arab foreign ministers in Cairo on Sunday agreed to readmit Syria to the Arab League after years of suspension, Al Arabiya reported, citing sources close to the matter.
The exceptional meeting of the foreign ministers will also discuss include the Sudan conflict on its agenda and the Palestinian issue, according to an Al Arabiya correspondent.
The attendees are expected to readmit Damascus into the Arab League after its membership was suspended in 2011 following violent crackdown on the Syrian uprising that evolved into a civil war.
Recently, several Arab states including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, have re-engaged with Syria in high-level visits and meetings, though some remain opposed to full normalization without a political solution to Syria's conflict.
Arab states have been trying to reach consensus on whether to invite Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to an Arab League summit on May 19 in Riyadh to discuss the pace of normalizing ties and on what terms Syria could be allowed back.
The developments follow a meeting last week in Amman during which Syria's Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad met for the first time with Arab ministers as part of a Jordanian initiative to get Damascus to negotiate a peace plan.
