Brussels: Foreign ministers from up to 60 countries forming the US-led coalition against Daesh militants will hold their first meeting next week in Brussels, US officials said on Wednesday.

The December 3 meeting, chaired by US Secretary of State John Kerry, is expected to review progress in the fight against Daesh and to discuss how coalition members will coordinate politically in future.

The meeting will be held at Nato headquarters but diplomats said Nato was only providing the building and the United States was organising and chairing the meeting.

US President Barack Obama announced in September he had authorised US air strikes for the first time in Syria and more attacks in Iraq in a broad escalation of a campaign against Daesh.

Australia, Britain, Canada and France have also launched air strikes against Daesh targets in Iraq.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain and the UAE have participated in or supported air strikes against Daesh targets in Syria, according to US Central Command.
