UK, Jordan foreign ministers discuss solutions for Syria’s crisis
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Foreign Affairs Minister OF Jordan, Ayman al-Safadi, and his British counterpart, James Cleverly, held on Saturday talks regarding the ability to find a political solution for the Syrian crisis.
The two officials discussed several regional and international developments, including Jordan’s initiative to realize a political solution to the Syrian crisis through direct Arab-Syrian engagement and a step-by-step approach.
Geir Pedersen, the UN Special Envoy for Syria talked in December 2021 about implementing a “step-for-step” approach, a policy pursued by some countries in their rapprochement with Damascus, as Washington and its allies have to lift or ease some sanctions on the Syrian government, in exchange for Moscow pushing the government to make progress on the stalled attempts at reaching a political solution.
The two officials agreed to meet as soon as possible to hold extensive talks on various bilateral and regional issues.
