 New York, (IINA) - The United Nations (UN) peace envoy for Syria plans to present new proposals at the end of July on the next steps needed in efforts to end the war, news agencies reported citing UN spokesman.
Staffan de Mistura briefed U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and several ambassadors about his new peace plan during weeklong talks at U.N. headquarters in New York.
“The special envoy intends to finalize by the end of July his proposals to the secretary-general on a way forward to support Syrian parties in their search of a political solution to the conflict,” the spokesman said.
De Mistura will brief the Security Council on July 28.
The Swedish-Italian diplomat has been holding meetings in Geneva over the past two months with key players in the Syria conflict to try to advance peace prospects.
The Geneva consultations were launched after De Mistura’s plan for a freeze in fighting in the city of Aleppo failed.
There have been no peace talks on Syria since the so-called Geneva II meetings in early 2014 ended in failure.
