He added that the intra-Syrian talks will focus on issues related to constitution, elections then \u201cthe rule\u201d and counter-terrorism, affirming that there is no alternative to help Syrians \u201crebuild procedures of trust\u201d and to resolve the issue of kidnapped people and the delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need.<\/p>\n
De Mistura said that Daesh (ISIS) defeat in Abu Kamal city which was its last fort in Deir Ezzor countryside, can record the end of Daesh. It is time to start the political process, stressing the importance of maintaining the de-escalation zones agreement.<\/p>\n

“Last night, we received a message that the government would not travel to Geneva today. Naturally, we hope, and indeed expect the government will be on its way shortly,” de Mistura said on the participation of the delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic in 8th round of the Geneva talks.<\/p>\n
In a relevant context, he said that the five permanent members of the United Nations\u2019 Security Council will hold a meeting on Tuesday in Geneva, upon a French initiative, affirming his participation in this preparatory meeting.<\/p>\n
