US, Russian diplomats to discuss Syria peace talks
- 8 years ago
Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov will meet his American counterpart John Kerry on February 11 to review progress in the Syria peace talks, his office said Saturday.
The announcement came as key players in the Syrian conflict gathered in Geneva for indirect talks in a fresh effort to end the bloodshed, which has so far cost more than 260,000 lives since it began with anti-government protests in March 2011.
During a phone conversation, Lavrov and Kerry "agreed to evaluate progress in the Geneva talks during the next meeting of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) on February 11," a statement said, without saying where the meeting would talk place.
