UN CHIEF, UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF STATE, URGE POLITICAL SOLUTION TO
SYRIAN CRISISNew York, Jul 25 2013 12:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon and United States Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking to
the press at United Nations Headquarters in New York, stressed that a
political solution is the only way to end the Syrian conflict, adding
that they would step up efforts to facilitate dialogue among all
parties.
"More than 100,000 people have been killed, and millions of people
have either been displaced or become refugees in neighbouring
countries. We have to bring this to an end," Mr. Ban
<"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2903">told reporters
ahead of closed-door talks between the two officials and a
ministerial-level Security Council meeting on Africa's Great Lakes
region, which Mr. Kerry will chair.
"Military and violent actions must be stopped by all the parties and
it is thus imperative to have a peace conference in Geneva as soon as
possible, as initiated by Mr. Kerry and Mr. Lavrov," the
Secretary-General underscored, adding that he and Joint Special
Representative Lakhdar Brahimi would spare no effort to convene this
meeting as soon as possible.
In May, following talks in Moscow between Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov and Mr. Kerry, the two countries announced they would
work together to achieve a political solution to the Syria crisis, and
agreed to convene an international conference aimed at achieving this
goal.

However, a date for the conference has not yet been set and talks are
continuing on the best time for it to be held, who should participate,
how it should be structured and some of the questions to be discussed.
"There is no military solution to Syria, there is only a political
solution and that will require leadership to bring people to the
negotiating table," Mr. Kerry said, adding that he and Mr. Lavrov
remain committed to make the Geneva meeting happen.
As for the private meeting between the two officials, Mr. Ban said he
and Mr. Kerry would discuss not just the situation in Syria, but also
the situation in the Middle East.
The UN chief commended Mr. Kerry's leadership and consistent
engagement to revive the peace process for a two-State solution. He
urged the leaders of Palestine and Israel to "seize this opportunity
and respond positively and courageously so that the two-State solution
can be realized as soon as possible."
On the Great Lakes and the situation in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC), both Mr. Ban and Mr. Kerry underlined the need to follow
the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework, and reiterated the
commitment of their Special Envoys in the region to work together.
The Framework was signed in February by 11 African leaders, and aims
to end the cycles of conflict and violence in eastern DRC and to build
peace in the wider region.
Mr. Ban also thanked Mr. Kerry for the US Government's support for
initiatives that seek to advance sustainable development and combat
climate change.Jul 25 2013 12:00PM
