Syria crisis: Powers 'agree Syria peace process resolution' | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The five permanent UN Security Council members have agreed the text of a draft UN resolution for the Syrian peace process, diplomats say. | |
The 15-member council is expected to adopt the resolution later on Friday, officials added. | |
World powers have been meeting in New York to try to advance a tentative plan to bring about a ceasefire in Syria. | |
The Syrian war, which is heading towards its fifth year, has killed more than 250,000 people. | |
Nearly 12 million people have also been displaced, the UN says. | |
The draft text asks the UN to bring together the Syrian government and the opposition for talks by early January. | |
A formal Security Council vote on the agreement is expected to take place at 2100 GMT. |
