MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Syrian Cairo opposition group will hold a technical meeting with UN Special Envoy for Syria representatives on June 18-19, head of the group Jihad Makdissi told Sputnik on Thursday.
"Yes the meeting will be with our group in Cairo 18-19 June. And it is a technical meeting" he said.
Earlier in the day, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said that de Mistura’s representatives are expected to travel to Damascus, Moscow, Riyadh and Cairo to hold technical talks with Syrian opposition members.
"There are different ideas regarding technical contacts. Representatives of de Mistura’s team will travel to different cities and countries to meet with representatives of different opposition groups, both internal and external. This will happen in the coming days," Bogdanov told reporters on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
A Syrian government delegation, as well as three opposition groups — the Riyadh-formed High Negotiations Committee, the Moscow-Cairo and the Hmeymim groups have been taking part in the UN-mediated Geneva talks.
The latest round of intra-Syrian talks took place in Geneva on April 13-27.
