Pope urges G8 to strive for immediate Syria ceasefire

World

VATICAN CITY ,(ST)- Pope Francis called Sunday on the leaders of the world’s top industrialized nations meeting in Northern Ireland to push for an immediate ceasefire in Syria.

On the eve of a two-day G8 summit, Francis wrote to British Prime Minister David Cameron calling on the powers to act fast to end the crisis in Syria.

“I earnestly hope that the summit will help to obtain an immediate and lasting ceasefire and to bring all parties in the conflict to the negotiating table,” he said.

“Peace demands a far-sighted renunciation of certain claims, in order to build together a more equitable and just peace,” he said without elaborating.
