潘基文:安排敘利亞和平會議進展緩慢

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon acknowledged progress has been slow in arranging international peace talks aimed at ending Syria's civil war.
Mr. Ban said Wednesday key elements of the U.N.-sponsored talks are still undecided, including whether the Syrian opposition will attend and who would represent it.

Earlier, Syrian opposition leaders repeated a demand for President Bashar al-Assad to leave power, saying they will not agree to the talks without a timetable for his withdrawal.聯合國祕書長潘基文承認，安排旨在結束敘利亞內戰的國際和平會議進展緩慢。

潘基文星期三說，有關這次會議的一些關鍵問題尚未確定，包括敘利亞反對派是否與會以及反對派與會代表的人選。這次會議得到聯合國的支持。

敘利亞反對派領導人早些時候重申，要求阿薩德總統下臺，並表示他們不會在不確定阿薩德下臺時間表的情況下同意參加這次會議。
