Foreign Ministry: Syria is ready to resume intra-Syrian dialogue without external interference or preconditions

Damascus, SANA, The Syrian Arab Republic is ready for resuming the intra- Syrian dialogue without external interference or preconditions, an official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said Friday in response to the statements of UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura in New York.

De Mistura did not set a date for the resumption of this dialogue since it was stopped last May, the source said in a statement to SANA.

In statements to reporters following the UN Security Council closed door-meeting on Thursday, de Mistura called for resuming dialogue in Syria.

” The time has come to consider renewing the political talks.” He said.
