The 4th ministerial meeting of the Group of Friends of the Syrian people, due in Marrakech on December 12, will be “a crucial step” in international efforts to find a solution to the Syrian crisis, Moroccan foreign minister said.
”The Marrakech meeting will be an opportunity to drum up further international support for the national coalition of the forces of the revolution and the opposition,” Saad Dine El Otmani told MAP on the sidelines of his participation in the 5th Arab-Turkish cooperation Forum, which was held Saturday in Istanbul.
The Syrian coalition of the forces of the revolution and the opposition could garner more recognition at the next meeting, Mr El Otmani said, adding that the formation of the new coalition, last November in Doha, has “given hope” towards finding a solution to the Syrian crisis.
The Marrakech meeting, the minister continued, will be an opportunity to get acquainted with “the political vision of the new Syrian Coalition and its program to build the Syria of tomorrow, stable, united and democratic.”
