CAIRO, Sept 10 (Reuters) - The Arab League agreed with President Bashar al-Assad on a series of measures to end months of bloodshed in Syria which will be presented to an Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo, the League head said on Saturday after a visit to Damascus.

Nabil Elaraby also told journalists in Cairo upon his return from Damascus that he had urged the Syrian president to "speed up reform plans through a timetable that will make every Syrian citizen feel that he has moved to a new stage". (Reporting by Ayman samir, Writing by Sami Aboudi)
