International disarmament inspectors, who arrived in Syria on Tuesday, have begun their mission to dismantle Assad's estimated 1,000-ton chemical weapons stockpile.
On Wednesday, the international inspectors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) reportedly left their hotel in Damascus.
Disarmament experts started their mission by cataloguing Syria's vast arsenal of chemical weapons and checking a list of sites provided by Damascus.
They are also expected to meet with the Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister, Faisal Mekdad, to coordinate the upcoming inspections and the process of destroying chemical weapons, according to AFP.
