The protection of all civilians in Syria and their full inclusion in the transition process will continue to be a priority in our engagement with the Syrian Government. The Minister for the Middle East discussed this issue during his meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani on 17 March and the National Security Advisor discussed it in his call with interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on 10 April.
