Syria Peace Talks Set For January 22 In Geneva -- Reuters
(Reuters) - An international peace conference aimed at ending Syria's civil war will be held on January 22, the first face-to-face talks between the government of President Bashar al-Assad and rebels seeking to overthrow him, the United Nations said on Monday.
The United Nations is hoping for a peaceful transition in Syria, building on an agreement between world powers reached in June last year in Geneva.
"We have a clear goal," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters in New York.
That was the "full implementation of the Geneva Communique of 30 June 2012", including the establishment of a transitional governing body with full executive powers, including over military and security entities.
Ban said nothing about who had been invited to the talks and took no questions from reporters.
