The United Nations confirmed that it planned to consult factions in Syria and interested countries in a new round of peace talks, on Tuesday.
The UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, outlining the Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura’s future plans, said,
“Starting in May… de Mistura will proceed with a series of in-depth, separate consultations with the Syrian stakeholders and regional/international actors to take stock of their views as of today.”
A UN source in Geneva said Iran would be one of the countries invited to the new round of talks, reports Reuters.
UN initiated peace talks collapsed last year with no tangible outcomes from the rounds of talks.
