And, again, we will work very closely with you as we process to Geneva talks and other talks,' the King added.

Thanks to our joint efforts, there is progress in this process basing and building on the ceasefire, a very important agreement to end hostilities between the governmental and oppositional forces on the ground.' The Russian President added: 'Let me note and make a special point that the Astana process participants emphasize that there may and there can be no military solution to the Syrian crisis.
