DAMASCUS, (S.T) _UN Envoy to Syria Lakhdaral Al-Ibrahimi is to visit Damascus on Saturday as to brief the Syrian officials on the results of his recent visits to a number of countries including those of influence on armed terrorist groups.

Spokesman of the Syrian Foreign Ministry, Dr.  Jihad Makdissi, told AFP on Thursday that  “al-Ibrahimi will meet with Syria’s Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem on Saturday morning.”

Damascus will be the latest leg of al-Ibrahimi tour which included  Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and Lebanon.

On the penultimate leg of his tour (Beirut), al-Ibrahimi warned on Wednesday that the Syria’s conflict could set the entire region ablaze.

On October 15, al-Brahimi called for a temporary ceasefire during the four-day Islamic Eid al-Adha holiday starting on October 26.

In this context, the local “al-Baath” newspaper reported on Thursday that “The envoy has focused his efforts on “convincing all parties to accept a temporary and limited objective as a first step towards a solution, and as a litmus test of all parties’ intentions.”

 It added that al-Ibrahimi is making a thorough and prudent effort to overcome the obstacles (in implementing) a diplomacy of small steps.
