联合国希望下星期一召集新一轮叙利亚和谈,不过,距会期还剩几天的情况下,各方在什么人应该参加和谈的问题上仍没有达成共识,因此这轮和谈能否如期举行出现疑问。

联合国叙利亚问题特使德米斯图拉上个月宣布,希望1月25日在日内瓦启动这轮和谈。

他得到了包括美国和俄罗斯等17个国家的支持,不过,这些国家还没有决定在叙利亚作战的众多反政府组织中,应该邀请哪些组织派代表参加谈判。

联合国副发言人哈克星期一说,在做出决定之前不会发出邀请。他说,联合国的目标仍然是1月25日召集会议。联合国秘书长潘基文正在敦促世界大国“加倍努力”,达成共识。

The United Nations wants to convene a new round of Syrian peace talks on Monday, but with only days remaining and no agreement on who should participate there are doubts about whether the negotiations will begin as scheduled.

Staffan de Mistura, the U.N.'s envoy for Syria announced last month that he wanted to begin the talks on January 25 in Geneva. 

He has the support of a group of 17 nations, including the United States and Russia, but those nations have yet to decide which of the many opposition groups fighting in Syria will have representatives at the negotiating table.

U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said Monday that invitations will not be sent until those decisions are made.  He said the U.N. is still focused on January 25 for a start date and that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is urging world powers to "redouble efforts" to reach an agreement.
