Reports: High-level Syrian delegation arrives in Egypt
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Egyptian media is reporting that a high-level Syrian delegation has arrived in Cairo for talks with unnamed senior officials.
The pro-government Sada al-Balad and other news websites, citing unnamed officials, say six Syrians arrived on a private jet Sunday from Damascus for discussions on efforts to reach a political solution to the country's civil war, now in its fifth year.
Calls to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry were not answered.

The move angered Egypt's major financier Saudi Arabia, which supports rebels fighting against the Moscow-backed government in Syria.
