A meeting of Arab foreign ministers kicked off here Monday in the presence of Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Abul Gheit. 

The meeting precedes the 28th Arab Summit, which will take place here Wednesday. 

Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry is leading Egypt's delegation to the preparatory meeting. 

The inaugural session will be followed by an in-camera meeting during which the top diplomats will endorse the agenda of the summit. 

Another working session will later be held to okay a number of draft resolutions and an "Amman Declaration"
that should be issued at the end of the summit.
