Building peace and stopping the war requires the UN led political process to move forward. And this is why we are gathering the international community, first and foremost, to support a UN facilitated and Syrian-owned political solution. We still believe that only a political solution achieved in the framework of the UN led negotiations can guarantee a truly peaceful future for a united and reconciled Syria that preserves the diversity of its people.

These two Days of Dialogue, let me say, are just the tip of the iceberg; they are the result of a consultation process that our teams have led with civil society and NGOs in Amman, Beirut, Gaziantep, Ankara, Brussels and on the web and their voices are what our meetings in this week here in Brussels are all about. They are Syria and we are here to give them a voice and to try to support their work.
