“The two most important issues are the launch of a political negotiation and a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities. They are the most pressing issues and they are interrelated. We cannot have a peace process without a ceasefire; and without a ceasefire peace talks cannot continue to produce results. So, we are hoping this meeting can achieve further consensus on these two main issues and generate more concerted action. The United Nations must continue to play an active role in this process.”
