Staffan De Mistura, the U.N. Syria envoy, to meet with head of the Syrian National Coalition in the first week of June, source told Zaman al-Wasl.
Last week, De Mistura, who is presiding over the Geneva peace consultations, received an official rejection by the Western-backed opposition and armed groups to attend the planned Geneva talks.
Syrian opposition groups made clear its condition to attend any talks which says Bashar al-Assad has no role in Syria's future according to Geneva Communique 1.
De Mistura, who will meet Khaled al-Khoja on June 4, said he wants the consultations to enable him to find common ground based on the 2012 Geneva Communique, a document that set out guidelines for ending the violence and launching a political transition, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, Syrian armed groups rejected an invitation to U.N. consultations in Geneva, according to a letter posted online.
The letter from 30 opposition armed groups to De Mistura accused him of abandoning his neutrality and "standing on the side of one party without the other".
De Mistura has repeatedly tried to clarify remarks on Assad that he made in February, saying his words was taken out of context and he meant the Syrian president was part of the solution for reducing violence.
The armed groups gave four reasons for rejecting De Mistura's invitation, including "continuing to work with the regime despite its loss of all forms of legitimacy".
