WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Kirby noted that Kerry offered Saudi Arabia US support and condolences for the recent terrorist attacks.
"Secretary Kerry held an impromptu meeting this afternoon with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir," Kirby stated on Tuesday. "The two discussed the need to combat and defeat Daesh, including in Syria, where the Kingdom has offered to commit troops to the counter-Daesh campaign."
Kerry and the Saudi Foreign Minister also discussed the need for a political transition in Syria, the situation in Libya and efforts to reach a settlement to the conflict in Yemen.
The Daesh is a terrorist group outlawed in Russia and many other countries, which has seized parts of Syria and Iraq.
