A new round of talks aimed at ending the war in Syria will begin in Geneva in earnest no later than March 14, a spokeswoman for the UN mediator said Tuesday, according to AFP.
UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura has said the new round of indirect talks between Syria's warring sides will officially start on Wednesday, but that they would likely not get seriously under way immediately. His spokeswoman Jessy Chahine confirmed his plans to resume the talks "as of the afternoon of March 9".
