“In one month, on October 30, I plan to gather 150 Syrian men and women to begin work on a balanced and inclusive Constitutional Committee of Syria,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Pedersen said earlier that the creation of the committee was supported by all members of the UN Security Council, the Astana troika and the small group on Syria. According to him, an international consensus has been reached on this issue.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said that the chairman of the constitutional committee of the SAR will be called after October 10.
