STORYLINE:
The visiting UN special envoy to Syria, Geir Pedersen, on Monday called for progress on the political front to resolve the Syrian crisis.
Speaking to reporters following his meeting with Syria's Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad, Pedersen recounted the difficulties facing the Syrian people, saying that despite a ceasefire being established in 2020, many civilians are still being killed, and 15 million Syrians still need humanitarian assistance.
The UN envoy said he and Mekdad discussed ways to establish "confidence-building measures" in line with Security Council resolution 2254 that provides for a roadmap for a political settlement of the Syrian crisis.
