ISTANBUL, March 12 — The United Nations (UN) Special Envoy for Syria Geir O. Pedersen has welcomed an agreement signed on March 10 by Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and Ferhad Abdi Sahin, aimed at integrating Syrian Arab Republic institutions and securing territorial unity.
According to Anadolu Ajansi, he said on Tuesday that he hopes the accord will contribute to a broader political transition in the war-torn country, in line with UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2254.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pedersen "hopes that the agreement can support and feed into a broader, credible and inclusive political transition process in line with the key principles of SCR 2254, that leads to a new constitution and free and fair elections."
He urged key international stakeholders, including the United States, Türkiye, and regional partners, to support their Syrian counterparts in ensuring stability in northeast Syria.
"All parties must work toward a nationwide ceasefire and make the necessary compromises to achieve lasting peace," Pedersen added.
UNSCR 2254, adopted in 2015, outlines a roadmap for resolving the Syrian conflict, including political negotiations, constitutional reforms, and elections under UN supervision.
