The foreign ministers of the member states approved Syria's readmission to the organization during an extraordinary meeting at its headquarters in Cairo, Egypt
On Friday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told media that there were enough votes among Arab League members to bring Syria back into the organization.
The 22-nation Arab League suspended Syria's membership in 2011 after a war broke out in the country. Several member states then recalled their ambassadors from Syria in protest against Syrian President Bashar Assad's policies, accusing his government of cracking down on demonstrators in the country.
Years later, some of the nations have begun taking steps to reengage with Damascus and reopen embassies.
