A second international meeting on the deadly violence in Syria will take place Sunday (October 16th) in London, after talks in Switzerland the day before, AFP reported Wednesday.
US Secretary of State John Kerry will attend both meetings to discuss "a multilateral approach to resolving the crisis in Syria, including a sustained cessation of violence and the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries", his spokesman John Kirby said.
Saturday's meeting in Lausanne will bring Kerry together with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and "key regional partners," while Sunday's talks are likely to see Kerry briefing his European counterparts.
Lavrov said Turkey, Saudi Arabia and possibly Qatar could take part in Saturday's talks.
New Zealand, one of the 10 non-permanent UN Security Council members, on Wednesday presented a draft resolution demanding an end to air attacks in the Syrian city of Aleppo, where the regime and its allies continue to push an offensive.
