Syria talks ‘paused’ until February 25
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN special envoy for Syria announces on Wednesday a “temporary pause” until February 25 of troubled talks in Switzerland aimed at ending the civil war.
“There’s more work to be done,” Staffan de Mistura tells reporters in Geneva.
His comments come after several days of fruitless talks aimed at starting indirect negotiations between the Syrian government and opposition.
The hoped-for six months of indirect “proximity talks” are part of an ambitious roadmap agreed by outside powers embroiled in the conflict in November in Vienna.
