Minutes after the Security Council approved a resolution expanding the number of UN cease-fire observers, Syria said it was ready to facilitate the UN monitors. But it stressed that a majority of them should be from neutral countries like BRICS, that also includes India. Syria's Information Minister Adnan Mahmoud told a group of Indian journalists visiting Syria that his country also stressed that while it was committed to the UN-backed peace plan, the Western powers wanted it to fail due to their own agenda.
Earlier, the UN Security Council voted to deploy upto 300 observers in Syria to monitor cease fire and help implement a peace plan agreed to by the Syrian government. The deployment of the UN Observer Mission will be for three months. The UN vote was unanimous despite western concerns about Syria's failure to comply with the truce. After the vote in New York, the Syrian ambassador to the UN Bashar Jaffrey said it was essential that the observers should not take sides.
There are already 30 observers in Syria. The UN Secretary General Ban ki Moon had earlier said that 300 observers would be required to monitor the ceasefire and implementation of six point Kofi Annan Peace Plan effectively.
