THE leaders of Syria's main opposition National Coalition will meet in Paris on January 28 along with representatives of countries supporting them, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says.
Speaking on Europe 1 radio on Sunday, Fabius provided no other details of the meeting.
He also denied reports Syria had used chemical weapons in December.
"We asked for our intelligence services to check - and not just us - and we're told 'no'," that chemical weapons had not been used, he said.
Earlier this month, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said the United States was increasingly focused on how to secure Syria's chemical weapons if the Assad regime were to fall.
Panetta said he would not consider sending ground troops into the war-torn country, even to secure chemical sites, but he left the door open to some US military presence if President Bashar al-Assad's downfall was followed by a peaceful transition.
Fabius downplayed the presence of Islamic extremists among the Syrian opposition, saying one of the most prominent such factions, the Al-Nusra front, "came from Iraq and is an ultra-minority group".
