A multilateral meeting on the resolution of Syrian conflict will take place in Vienna this weekend, according to the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

‘As for a new multilateral meeting on the resolution of Syrian conflict, it is scheduled for next weekend. And we certainly want to see this meeting as a step forward, preferably as two steps forward,’  Lavrov told the reporters.

‘The meeting will be aimed at promoting the arrangements which have been reached on October 30. First of all, we need to agree on a list of terrorist organizations, so that no one would be in doubt or hesitation in regard to the orientation of one or another armed group’, the minister said.

The meeting of 30 October was attended by delegations of 19 delegates, including Russia, the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Germany, France, Egypt, Italy, United Kingdom, Iraq and Lebanon. Staffan de Mistura, United Nations special envoy for the Syria crisis, and Federica Mogherini, the head of the EU Foreign Service, also joined the negotiations.
