(VOVworld) - UN peace envoy Staffan de Mistura on Monday urged new ceasefires in Syria to build on diplomatic efforts to end the country’s four-year war. Speaking at the end of a trip to Damascus to brief the government on international talks in Vienna, De Mistura said ceasefires would show the political discussions were having an impact. De Mistura on Sunday met Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem to discuss international talks held this week in Vienna on the conflict.

The talks brought together diplomats from 17 nations, as well as the United Nations and the European Union, but included no Syrian government or opposition representatives.
