Kuwait Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah cautioned Saturday against the grave dangers of conflict in Syria on the whole region.

"No country in the region is protected against the grave repercussions of deteriorating situation in Syria," Sheikh Sabah, also Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs, said in a joint press conference with Arab League Secretary General Nabil Al-Araby following the extraordinary ministerial meeting of the Kuwait-chaired Arab League Council.

"We are working to avoid these dangers and to protect Syria against a civil war which will have extreme impacts on the Arab region, including Gulf states, " he added.

The Kuwait foreign minister underlined that Arab Gulf states are cooperating and coordinating with other Arab countries to put an end to violence in Syria and help meet Syrian people's aspirations for better future.

With regard to latest developments in Sudan, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled said that the Arab League Council has expressed support to all measures to retain the sovereign and protect security and stability of the Republic of Sudan.

He revealed that the Arab League is mediating between Sudan and South Sudan to ease tension and avoid any new confrontations between the two neighbors.

For his part, Arab League Chief Al-Araby admitted the need for reconsidering the deadline of UN-Arab League Envoy Kofi Annan's mission as the violence continues unabated against desperate Syrians.

Al-Araby pointed out that the Arab ministerial council has asked the UN Security Council to consider using Article VII to press the Syrian regime to abide by some of the Annan's six-point plan.

He, however, stressed that the Arab council's statement did not ask for military intervention in Syria but urge the international community to pile more pressures on President Bashar Al-Assad regime.

Al-Araby also disclosed intensive contacts with China and Russia to press them to change their staunch support to Al-Assad regime.

These contacts have already helped make a slight change in Moscow and Beijing's policy towards the crisis in Syria, he said.

The Arab League Chief noted that the council's statement demanded the Syrian opposition to unite and close ranks, adding that the Arab League will host a meeting for the Syrian National Council and other Syrian opposition powers on June 9 to help achieve this goal.

The Arab League Council held its extraordinary meeting in Doha Saturday to mull the deterioration Syrian conflict, particularly with the failure of the UN observers mission to bring to halt 15-month violence.

Monitors say more than 13,400 people have been killed across Syria since an anti-regime uprising erupted in March 2011, including nearly 2,300 since April 12.
