Fabius: Paris attacks make consensus on Syria more urgent

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says the attacks in Paris make it all the more necessary for the international community to find a common approach in Syria and terrorism.

Fabius’ remarks comes as foreign ministers from more than a dozen nations begin meeting in Vienna seeking to find a way to resolve the conflict in Syria.

Overshadowed by Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris, the diplomats start discussions aimed at charting a path for a cease-fire and a political transition in Syria to end the country’s devastating war.

The foreign ministers of Germany, Jordan and Saudi Arabia echoed Fabius’ sentiments.
