Syria's government and opposition groups are invited to resume peace talks in Geneva on March 23, the UN envoy said Wednesday, as the United States pledged support for the negotiations.
Staffan de Mistura announced the date after reporting to the Security Council on the results of the last round of talks on ending Syria's six-year war."My current intention is to bring the invitees back to Geneva for a fifth round, with a target date of the 23rd of March," he told reporters after the meeting. The new round will focus on governance, constitutional process, elections and counter-terrorism and there may also be discussions on reconstruction, said De Mistura.
The European Union and the United Nations will host a conference in Brussels on April 5 on Syrian reconstruction but the assistance will only start flowing once a political transition is in place.
US Ambassador Nikki Haley told reporters after the meeting that the new US administration supports the Syrian peace process and wants the talks in Geneva to continue.
