Kerry to meet Syria's opposition leader



US Secretary of State John Kerry plans to hold talks with the leader of Syria's main opposition group on Thursday in New York.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday that Kerry will meet Ahmed al-Jarba, the newly elected head of the Syrian National Coalition, at the UN. It will be their first meeting.

Psaki said Kerry will convey American commitment to helping the opposition.

She said the meeting will also be an opportunity to discuss not only the current situation in Syria but how to achieve a political solution.

The United States last month decided to start providing military assistance to Syrian rebels in addition to humanitarian aid.
