潘基文:安排叙利亚和平会议进展缓慢

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.联合国秘书长潘基文承认，安排旨在结束叙利亚内战的国际和平会议进展缓慢。

潘基文星期三说，有关这次会议的一些关键问题尚未确定，包括叙利亚反对派是否与会以及反对派与会代表的人选。这次会议得到联合国的支持。

叙利亚反对派领导人早些时候重申，要求阿萨德总统下台，并表示他们不会在不确定阿萨德下台时间表的情况下同意参加这次会议。
