“I am pleased to announce the agreement between the Syrian government and the Syrian negotiation committee to create a balanced, credible and inclusive Constitutional Committee,” he said.
According to Guterres, the constitutional committee should begin work in the coming weeks in Geneva.
The UN Secretary General thanked Russia, Turkey and Iran for their participation in the creation of the committee.
On the eve of the Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General for Syria, Geir Pedersen arrived in Damascus, where he plans to meet with Syrian Foreign Minister Valid Muallom.
In late August, Pedersen announced that the constitutional committee of Syria was almost formed.
On September 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin, following tripartite talks with Iranian and Turkish leaders Hassan Rouhani and Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, said the parties assumed that the Syrian constitutional committee would have a decisive impact on the normalization of the situation in the SAR.
