The congress is scheduled for January 30. Russia has invited more than 1,500 representatives of the Syrian society to take part in the event. The United Nations and several regional and international organizations have been offered observer roles. The US State Department has also confirmed an invitation to the event, but could not provide information on whether US representatives would attend.
The gathering aims at bringing together opposition and pro-government forces as well as representatives of Syria's numerous ethnic and religious groups. They will be invited to discuss their vision of Syria's future in a bid to advance the peace process. The focus will be on the efforts to draft a new constitution and hold elections.
