The Arab League (AL) Council held here Wednesday a consultative meeting at the level of permanent delegates to set the scene for their joint meeting with the ambassadors of the UN Security Council (UNSC) members, slated for Saturday at the headquarters of the pan-Arab body.

The meeting was held under the chairmanship of Bahrain's Ambassador to Egypt and its permanent delegate to Al Rashed bin Abdul Rahman Al Khalifa, whose country chairs the current AL session.

Coordination on regional Arab issues and files of special importance - topped by the Palestinian issue, the situation in Libya and Somalia - that will be addressed during the joint AL and UNSC session has been agreed upon during Wednesday's meeting.
