According to some diplomatic sources, at the meeting, the Committee agreed on a framework protocol on the presence of peacekeeping forces in Syria to ensure stability during the transition process.

This force is expected to go to areas with intense fighting and the mission will be set by the United Nations Security Council, aiming to maintain peace, security and ensure the safety of Syrian civilians./.
