Nassir al Hariri has been named as the lead delegate from the Syrian opposition side, sources added.

Spokesman for the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) Salim al-Muslat confirmed to Al Arabiya’s sister channel Al Hadath that Syrian opposition groups are set to send 20 delegates and 20 consultants in total to the Geneva 4 talks.

The HNC and the delegation that attended the Astana talks on 23-24 January met in Riyadh on Friday to decide on its delegation for the upcoming talks.
