The UN special envoy to Syria, Geir Pedron, said today, Wednesday, that he will travel to Moscow and then Damascus to continue consultations on the work of the Syrian Constitutional Committee.

Pederson added: “I will go to Moscow tomorrow, Thursday, to continue consultations with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and I am waiting impatiently for these talks,” as he said.

He added that after visiting Moscow, he will travel to Damascus to see how the consultations on the political process in Syria will proceed.
