Astana peace process talks conclude without notable progress on make-up of constitutional committee essential to a political settlement in war-wracked Syria

Representatives attend a meeting in a plenary sitting of 12th regular intra-Syrian talks held as part of Astana Process, in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. April 26, 2019.

A joint statement released by the three co-sponsors said the meeting had broached the issue of the constitutional committee with the United Nations' Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen. Further talks in Geneva would be needed, it added. The constitutional committee is of particular interest to the UN, which favours a Syrian-led resolution to the conflict.

"But I think by that time [UN mediator] Mr Pedersen will be able to announce" the establishment of the committee.Iran, Russia and Turkey also used the occasion of the negotiations to reiterate criticism of the United States for recognising Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
