Time to restart peace process in Syria: UN Special Envoy

UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura says, after a UN Security Council meeting, that time is ripe to restart the peace process in Syria and re-engage all parties to the conflict. 

Staffan de Mistura said yesterday, this is actually the best moment to insist that a peace process needs to be



restarted but to do so we need everyone to want to talk about a political process starting with the government and everyone else. De Mistura explained he intends to hold all necessary preparatory meetings to ensure that when the talks start, the parties are ready to engage in the political process.
