The importance of the Astana format of the talks in resolving the situation in Syria is increasing. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Mukhtar Tleuberdi said this on Friday during an international conference marking the 30th anniversary of the country's diplomatic service.
"The 18th international meeting on Syria, which was held on June 15-16 in Nur-Sultan, showed that amid the suspension of the Geneva talks, the role of the Astana format in the Syrian settlement is only increasing," he said.
According to him, over the years of independence, Kazakhstan has deservedly strengthened its reputation as a country that is open to dialogue in order to find mutually acceptable solutions for the conflicting parties.
