Iran’s foreign minister says promotion of negotiations among all Syrian groups is the only way to find a political solution to Syria’s crisis.

Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks in a Sunday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy for Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev, who is in Iran heading a delegation.

During the Monday talks, Iran’s top diplomat emphasized the need for the continuation of cooperation between Iran and Russia within the framework of talks held in the Kazakh capital, Astana, to resolve the crisis in Syria.

Kazakhstan’s Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tleuberdi announced on November 4 that his country is set to host a fresh round of talks between the Syrian government and the opposition aimed at ending the years-long crisis.

The top Kazakh diplomat added that the meeting would bring together the guarantors of the Astana process namely Iran, Russia and Turkey.

This would be the 17th round of talks between the Syrian government and the foreign-backed opposition in Kazakhstan.

The 16th international high-level meeting on Syria, which took place in the Kazakh capital in July, involved delegations of the guarantor countries, the Syrian government and the armed opposition.
