MOSCOW (Sputnik) Syrian government, armed opposition and foreign delegates will focus on a month-and-a-half-old ceasefire at upcoming talks in Kazakhstan this week, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said Monday.

"The task is the same: to strengthen the ceasefire in the framework of the signed agreements between the armed opposition and the government," Bogdanov told reporters.
