At today’s UNSC Briefing on Syria, the Permanent Representative of Greece:

↪ Commended the restraint of the Syrian leadership, insulating the country from increased regional volatility.

↪ Stressed that the protection and meaningful political participation of all Syrians, including women and regardless of ethnicity and religion, must be ensured.

↪ Welcomed the EU-Syria High Level Political Dialogue and the participation of President al-Shaara at the informal Summit of EU and regional leaders in Cyprus.

↪ Supported the compelling vision of a Syria at peace with itself and its neighbours, encouraged by the recent visit of the Lebanese Prime Minister in Damascus and signs of a willingness to chart a new path in the Syrian-Lebanese relationship.
