UN envoy plans new round of Syria talks in July
None
The United Nations' special envoy for Syria says he plans a new round of peace talks in Geneva next month.
Staffan de Mistura's office said Saturday that the aim is for delegates to arrive in the Swiss city on July 9 and for talks—the seventh round so far—to start the following day. It did not specify how long the round is expected to last.
It said that de Mistura plans to convene further rounds of talks in August and September. The UN-hosted Geneva talks between parties to the conflict in Syria are the main political forum for efforts to end the six-year conflict.
