The foreign minister of Russia has announced that the next round of Syria talks in Astana, Kazakhstan, will be held on July 10, Al Jazeera reports.
The meeting is set to coincide with a fresh round of UN-sponsored Syria peace talks that will also begin in Geneva, Switzerland, the same day.
"The latest meeting of participants will take place in Astana on July 10," Sergey Lavrov was quoted by the Russian foreign ministry website as saying on Monday in Beijing.
He said Staffan de Mistura, the UN's special envoy on Syria, will take part in the Russian-backed talks.
