De Mistura, Lavrov to Discuss Arrangements to Resume Intra-Syrian Talks in Geneva

GENEVA, (ST)-The UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura is heading to Moscow for talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on arrangements to hold the next round of the indirect intra-Syrian dialogue in Geneva, de Mistura’s office said on Tuesday.

Reuters quoted US spokesman Ahmad Fawzi as saying that Russia and the United States are the main sponsors of the talks which are expected to resume on April 11th by de Mistura’s meeting with the “opposition” delegation.

 The delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic to the talks will arrive several days later after the completion of parliamentary elections in Syria, according to the UN spokesman.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Monday that Moscow expects the participants of the intra-Syrian talks will be able to make progress and formulate what is acceptable in de Mistura’s proposals and what requires adjusting.
