CAIRO, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- Arab justice ministers will meet in Cairo next week to discuss means of defusing the recent crisis between Sudan and the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Egyptian MENA news agency reported Sunday.

At a joint press conference with visiting Sudanese Justice Minister Abdel Basit Saleh Sabdarat, Arab League (AL) Secretary General Amr Moussa said the ministerial meeting on Oct. 12 will focus on the legal aspects of the Sudan-ICC crisis.

Moussa said Sabdarat and he have discussed an upcoming visit byan AL committee on resuming peace talks between the Sudanese government and rebel movements in the western Sudanese region of Darfur.

Sabdarat expressed his country's confidence in the AL chief's efforts to help resolve Sudan's problems.

On July 14, ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo formally requested an arrest warrant against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes in Darfur, which was strongly refuted by the Sudanese government.
