ShowArabic version

Question: Mr. de Mistura, are you satisfied with the outcome of the meeting?

Special Envoy: This meeting, like every meeting I have been having with His Excellency Minister Shoigu, has been very useful

This was a very important and timely opportunity to discuss how to move from the de-escalation areas phase into a renewed political process leading to a sustainable political solution, in line with 2254

Thank you very much
