United Nations and Arab League Special Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi left for Paris Sunday morning after a short visit to Egypt.
Brahimi discussed the Syrian crisis with a number of Egyptian officials, including Arab League Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi.
Brahimi briefed Arabi on the outcome of his endeavors to hold an international conference on the Syrian crisis.
Brahimi also met with Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr to discuss the latest developments in Syria and the possibility of holding a "Geneva 2" conference on the Syrian crisis.
A popular uprising that broke out in Syria in March 2011 has gradually turned into a bloody civil war, in which more than 93,000 people have died, according to figures from the United Nations.
Syria's conflict has grown increasingly sectarian in nature. On Thursday, influential Sunni clerics from several Arab states, including Egypt, called for jihad, or holy war, against the "sectarian" regime in Syria.
