The National Salvation Front in Syria (Arabic: جبهة الخلاص الوطني في سورية) is a political party founded and based in Belgium. It was founded by Abdul Halim Khaddam, former Vice President of Syria and interim President from June-July 2000, and nationalist, moderate islamist, liberal and social-democratic opposition factions in exile. It aims to bring down the government of Bashar al-Assad peacefully. The NSF had its last meeting on September 16, 2007 in Berlin, where some 140 opposition figures attended. The NSF also has offices in France, Germany, and the United States.
Recently, during the 2011 Syrian uprising, the National Salvation Front in Syria, as a political party of the Syrian opposition in exile, is preparing a series of demonstrations and protests in cities of the United States and Western Europe.
