France, allies to discuss Syrian conflict in Paris (Quai d'Orsay)

France will host a meeting on the Syria conflict later on Tuesday with European and Arab allies in addition to the United States, but without Russia and Iran, Damascus' traditional partners, the foreign ministry said.

In a statement issued by the Quai d'Orsay, France's top diplomat Laurent Fabius would receive "the main partners engaged with France in dealing with the Syrian crisis: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Qatar, Turkey, Germany, the United States, Italy and Britain."

"They will discuss the means to bring about a political transition towards a united and democratic Syria, respectful of all communities, while also reinforcing the fight against terrorism," it added.

The fresh talks is a new round of negotiations to dig for a diplomatic end to the Syrian crisis after France, its western allies and Arab partners stood firm in their demand that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad leave power to draw a new era in the Arab country, which Russia, Syria refuse.
