MUNICH (Sputnik) – Talks of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) held in the German city of Munich ended, having lasted for over four hours, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RIA Novosti.
The ISSG was formed in November shortly after the beginning of the Syria peace talks in Vienna as an international format aiming to resolve the internal crisis in Syria, where a civil war has been ongoing since 2011.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, US Secretary of State John Kerry and UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura are expected to give a news briefing after the Thursday ISSG talks.
A source told RIA Novosti that a final communique could be prepared at the conclusion of the talks.
