Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the forthcoming Syrian National Dialogue Congress following Turkish military action in North West Syria.

​The British Government is clear that the Geneva process remains the best forum for reaching a lasting solution to the conflict in Syria. All international efforts, including any Syrian National Dialogue Congress, must be in support of that process. We urge Russia and all parties to support the UN-mediated political process mandated by UN Security Council Resolution 2254 and focus on achieving a political settlement that ends the war and suffering, and provides stability for all Syrians and the wider region.
