In a statement from his Spokesperson, the Secretary-General also said the latest developments in Syria “point once against to the urgent need to reinvigorate the political process.”
The Spokesperson said that Guterres had directed his Special Envoy, Staffan de Mistura, to intensify efforts, in consultation with all concerned, to reconvene the next round of the intra-Syrian talks on the basis of the Geneva communique and relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2254 (2015).
The next round is expected to be held at the end of this month or in early November, according to comments de Mistura made at the Security Council in September.
