U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Ibrahimi held new talks Friday to plan the January peace conference between Syria's government and rebels, amid disagreement over who will participate. Ibrahimi and senior U.S. and Russian officials met at the U.N. offices in Geneva, then held broader talks with fellow U.N. Security Council permanent members China, France, and Britain before including envoys from Syria's neighbors Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. Ibrahimi's intensive shuttle diplomacy between Geneva, the Middle East, and the capitals of world powers last month finally set January 22 as the start date for talks in Switzerland.
