UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- The UN Security Council is scheduled to have an emergency meeting on the current situation in Syria on Sunday morning, diplomatic sources told Xinhua Saturday night.
The meeting is scheduled to start at 11:00 EDT (1500 GMT) at the request of the United States and France, two of the five permanent members of the 15-nation UN body, the sources said.
UN officials also confirmed that the emergency council meeting is to be an open one, at which ambassadors are expected to air their views on the latest development on the ground in Syria.
The council meeting on Sunday is unusual as the annual high-level debate of the UN General is going on at UN headquarters in New York.
