Meeting of Syrian Constitutional Committee may be held on Oct 30

The first meeting of the Syrian Constitutional Committee is planned for October 30, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said.

"The committee should start its work on October 30 as a preliminary date," Syria News portal cited Moallem as saying.

According to him, "countries hostile to Syria don't want the committee to progress in its work because they don't want any political solution to the crisis." "When we feel there are external fingers in the work of the committee, we will announce that and stop talking to it," the Syrian Foreign Minister added.

On September 23, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres announced the formation of the Syrian Constitutional Committee.
