World leaders will meet tomorrow, Friday, December 18, 2015 in New York to pass a UN resolution endorsing the Syrian peace process. The resolution will reaffirm the principles of the peace process agreed in Vienna last November, BBC said citing the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

The US Secretary of State, John Kerry on December 15 had talks with the Russian President, Vladimir and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow on the  Syrian crisis. Mr Kerry whose mission was to bridge gaps over ways to end the Syrian conflict, reportedly told President Putin the two countries had "the ability to make a significant difference". The US and Russia disagree on what role Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should play in any transition. While the US wants him to stand down, Russia says only the Syrian people should decide his fate. Both sides have however, said they would keep working on contentious issues, like the make-up of the opposition delegation, Russian Foreign Minister said.

Speaking before meeting Mr Kerry, President Putin is quoted as saying that, "together, we are looking for ways out of the most urgent crises.” John Kerry on his part ahead of the talks declared that, "Even when there have been differences between us, we have been able to work effectively on specific issues. The world benefits when powerful nations can find common ground.”

Reports say a US-led coalition has been targeting Islamic State (IS) positions in Syria since September 2014 and does not co-ordinate its raids with the authorities in Damascus. Russia on its part, launched an air campaign to bolster Mr Assad's government in September 2015. Its forces say it has targeted only "terrorists", above all jihadist militants from the Islamic State (IS) group, but activists say its strikes have mainly hit Western-backed rebel groups.

Friday’s peace resolution and its effective enforcement would greatly salvage the deplorable situation in Syria.  The UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in its response plan for 2016, said Syria needs 3.2 billion US Dollars in aid and 13.5 million inhabitants require assistance.  The plan further states that 6.5 million people are internally displaced, four out of five families live in poverty, 72 per cent of the people have no access to drinking water and two million children are out of school.
