Peace envoy Kofi Annan intends to hold an international meeting on Syria in Geneva on June 30

Peace envoy Kofi Annan intends to hold an international meeting on Syria in Geneva on June 30, his deputy said on Wednesday.
  
Jean-Marie Guehenno told the UN Human Rights Council that Annan has been working with "key member states" with influence in Syria to try to reach a political solution to the conflict.
  
"Over the past few weeks, these efforts focused on the creation of an Action Group on Syria which the Joint Special Envoy intends to convene on June 30 in Geneva," Guehenno said.
  
He said the meeting was planned at ministerial level and it was essential for states with influence to agree among themselves "in order to effectively support a Syrian-led transition process."
  
"The envoy is using his best efforts to facilitate a common position on the Proposed outcomes of the Action Group," he said. "Those outcomes will have to be meaningful and concrete in order to help alleviate the crisis."
