MOSCOW, Aug.25, (ST)- The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, has reiterated his country’s adherence to find a comprehensive political solution to the crisis in Syria.
“ Recently, some of our Western colleagues have been spreading information that due to the conditions of the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia has lost interest in the Syrian settlement. These statements are absolutely meaningless and they don’t reflect our consistent policy of seeking a comprehensive Syrian settlement, including supporting your mission,” Sputnik agency quoted Lavrov as saying at a meeting with UN Secretary-Genera’s Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen.
The two sides stressed the need to intensify international efforts in order to implement restoration projects and early recovery of basic infrastructure in Syria in accordance with the provisions of Security Council Resolution No. 2642.
