Geneva, SANA – United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed the heads of four working groups on Syria who will meet in Geneva.<\/p>\n
In a statement quoted by Reuters, the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura expressed his hope that the working groups’ “outcomes could eventually set the stage for a Syrian agreement to end the conflict on the basis of the Geneva Communiqu\u00e9,” which was issued in June 30 2012.<\/p>\n
The groups’ heads are Jan Egeland, Nicolas Michel, Volker Perthes and Birgitta Holst Alani, according to de Mistura.<\/p>\n
On his latest visit to Syria, the UN envoy provided answers to inquires from the Syrian side about his proposal on the working groups within efforts to find a political solution to the crisis in Syria.<\/p>\n
De Mistura clarified that the objective of the meetings to be held by the working groups is brainstorming and that they are non-binding, adding that whatever the Syrians come to agree on may be helpful in the process of preparing for Geneva 3 conference.<\/p>\n
