Briefing journalists in New York, Farhan Haq, the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, said UN Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura was interested in receiving the Syrian Opposition Coalition's point of view on the Geneva Consultations.
“This is the whole purpose of the exercise,” said Haq.
The Spokesman added that Staffan remains appreciative of ongoing efforts by the Coalition to contribute to a long overdue peaceful solution in Syria.
“The Geneva consultations are a rolling process to seek views of all Syrian and relevant regional and international parties on the operationalization of the Geneva Communiqué,” said Haq.
The Communiqué was adopted after the first international meeting on the issue on 30 June 2012, and since endorsed by the UN Security Council.
“In this context, Mr. de Mistura continues to meet separately with all Syrian actors from inside and outside Syria. He looks forward to the Syrian Opposition Coalition's engagement in this process,” the Spokesman added.
