来自一些西方国家及其盟国的官员将开会讨论协调叙利亚各个反对派团体的问题。
星期五“叙利亚之友”组织选定成员的特别会议将由美国国务卿克林顿主持，将有20多个国家的部长和地区革命委员会的代表参加。
美国国务院一位高级官员说，这次会议将作为联合国大会的场外活动举行，重点讨论支持叙利亚反对派、人道协助和国际社会对叙利亚政权施压问题。
这位官员说，还将讨论可能对叙利亚政权采取的单边措施，包括可能的制裁。
在一天之前，联合国难民署表示，有多达70万的叙利亚人可能在年底前从战祸肆虐之地逃走。
Officials from several Western nations and their allies will meet to discuss coordination efforts among Syria's fractured opposition.
Friday's ad-hoc meeting of selected members of the Friends of Syria group, is hosted by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and will include ministers from more than 20 nations and representatives from local revolutionary councils.
A senior State Department official said the meeting, which takes place on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, will focus on support to the Syrian opposition, humanitarian assistance and international pressure on the Syrian regime.
The official says the discussions will include unilateral measures which can be taken on the regime including the possibility of sanctions.
The meeting comes a day after the U.N. Refugee agency said up to 700,000 Syrians could flee the conflict-ravaged country by the end of the year.
