Western and Arab countries supporting Syria's rebels on Saturday agreed to further arm the opposition at a meeting here on the latest development of the Syria conflict.

In a joint statement, foreign ministers of 11 countries that attended the "Friends of Syria" meeting agreed to "provide urgently all the necessary materials and equipment" to the Syrian opposition, which has fought against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on the ground.

Foreign ministers from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey attended the talks.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that all parties agreed that ending the 27-month-long violence would allow the Syrian people to choose their future. Kerry told the ministerial meeting that the continued bloodshed at the hands of the Assad administration and the increasing involvement of Iran and its proxy Hezbollah threaten the prospect of a political settlement and peace.

The foreign ministers of the "Friends of Syria" meeting also agreed that all the weapons and equipments should be channelled through the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), one of the opposition forces in Syria.
