Maven-surefire-plugin with TestNg: how to specify the directory in which xls files of test suites are stored?

I am currently working on a Maven project. I chose TestNg to run my unit tests. To run my unit tests in every Maven assembly, I added the maven-surefire-plugin to my pom.xml:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.12</version>
            <configuration>
            <!-- Configuring the test suites to execute -->
                <suiteXmlFiles>
                     <suiteXmlFile>testsuite-persistence-layer.xml</suiteXmlFile>
                </suiteXmlFiles>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

In addition, I want to specify the tests that will be executed using TestNg TestSuiteXmlFile. For example, in my pom.xml, I configured the surefire plugin to run the tests defined in an XML file called "testuite-persistence-layer.xml".

The problem is that by default the surefire plugin seems to be looking for this XML file in the root of my project. How can I specify the directory where the surefire plugin should search for TestSuite XML files?
