Syrian HNC to meet in Riyadh this month

Head of the delegation of the Syrian opposition’s High Negotiations Committee (HNC) Nasr Al Hariri said on Monday the committee will meet in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, in mid-August in order to prepare for the next round of Geneva peace talks.
The meeting will be attended by the Cairo and Moscow platforms, Hariri told Sky News.
A plenary conference bringing together all Syrian opposition groups will be held in October in an attempt to forge a unified front in negotiations to end the war and launch a political transition, Hariri said.
The HNC is a Saudi-backed negotiating body, comprising representatives of several Syrian opposition groups. It was created in December 2015 to represent the opposition at Geneva peace talks.
