Saudi Arabia will host a conference in mid-December aimed at unifying the Syrian opposition. The conference comes after an international agreement to launch talks between Syria’s government and opposition by 1 January.
'The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is keen to gather the entire Syrian opposition and help them to [present] one voice and one unified position,' Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the UN, Abdallah al-Mouallimi, told al-Arabiya. He said the conference would include 'all shades of the opposition' including figures based inside Syria.
