On Monday, the Syrian Arab Republic delegation held the first session of talks with de Mistura.

The delegation arrived in Geneva on Sunday to participate in the second stage of the 8th round of the dialogue.

In a press conference at the end of the 1st stage, which concluded on December 1st, al-Jaafari affirmed that there are those who seek to derail the Geneva talks by trying to impose preconditions, pointing out that the statement of the “Riyadh 2” group aimed at undermining the chances of a successful dialogue in Geneva which is totally unacceptable.
