Kerry will travel to Paris for London 11 meetings, where foreign ministers of 11 countries will prepare for the Jan. 22 Geneva II conference on Syria. He’ll also meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and hold a meeting with the Arab Peace Initiative on Middle East Peace to update them on negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians.

In Kuwait, he’ll speak at the Second International Humanitarian Pledging Conference, an international donor conference on Syria.
