The Syrian government has accepted Kofi Annan's six-point plan on ending violence, spokesman for the UN-Arab League joint special envoy said Tuesday.
"The Syrian government has written to the Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan accepting his six point plan, endorsed by the United Nations Security Council. Mr. Annan has written to President Assad urging the Syrian government to put its commitments into immediate effect," the former UN chief's spokesman Ahmad Fawzi said in a statement issued in Beijing and forwarded by the UN Office at Geneva.
"Mr. Annan has stressed that implementation will be key," he said, adding "As the Syrian government acts on its commitments, Mr. Annan will move urgently to work with all parties to secure implementation of the plan at all levels."
He also said that Annan appeals to key countries to support this development and help ensure its effective implementation.
Annan's six-point plan to end the violence in Syria includes proposals for a cease-fire initiated by the Syrian government, a daily halt in fighting for the delivery of humanitarian aid and treatment for the wounded, and talks between the government and the opposition.
