A Syrian government delegation is due to meet officials in Moscow on Monday to discuss an international peace conference that Russia, the United States and the United Nations are trying to convene, a Russian diplomatic source said.

The Syrian delegation may meet Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday, the source said.

In a conversation on Friday with U.N. special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, Lavrov voiced hope that a preparatory meeting between Brahimi, U.S. and Russian diplomats on Nov. 25 would "resolve all remaining questions" including which other nations would take part in the conference, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
