MOSCOW, September 5 (RIA Novosti) – Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem will visit Moscow on Monday for talks with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday.
The talks “will focus on an all-encompassing consideration of all aspects of the situation in and around Syria,” the ministry said in a statement.
The statement also reiterated Moscow’s position that a political process was the only way to solve the Syrian crisis and that any military action not authorized by the UN Security Council would be inadmissible.
