UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Security Council has postponed a vote on a draft resolution demanding a 30-day ceasefire across Syria till noon on Saturday, said Kuwaiti ambassador to the United Nations Mansour Al-Otaibi.
Otaibi, who is president of the Security Council for February, said the council members failed to reach consensus on Friday after rounds of closed-door consultations.
