The world should rally behind efforts by the United Nations' special envoy for Syria to keep the Syrian Constitutional Committee working toward a compromise, the Italian foreign minister said Thursday
"Despite existing divisions in the country, the work is going forward.
My call to all countries is to support [Geir] Pedersen and his efforts," Luigi Di Maio said after meeting the UN envoy in Rome.
He praised the Norwegian diplomat for helping put the 150-member committee together, a "real achievement" that few believed could be accomplished.
The diplomats spoke at the Mediterranean Dialogues conference that began in Rome earlier in the day. It comes a week after the latest round of talks between Syrian committee delegates ended without a compromise on the agenda of their constitutional talks.
