WASHINGTON, Jumada II 16, 1437, March 25, 2016, SPA -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Thursday that the cooperation between U.S. and Russia on Syria led to serious results, particularly for the Syrian people. Speaking during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin, Kerry said that the serious approach that we (U.S. and Russia) have been able to cooperate on has made a difference to the life of people in Syria and to the possibilities of making progress on peace. "Most observers thought it was impossible to achieve a cessation of hostilities, and because of the cooperation, both political and military, which we have been able to achieve with some effort, this Sunday will mark one month of the cessation", he said. "The people of Syria and the people of the region, as a result, have literally been able to taste and smell the possibilities of what it means to have a huge reduction in violence and to receive humanitarian assistance," Kerry added. "I know you have ideas and you’ve already made a very critical decision with respect to the drawdown of your forces in Syria. And we obviously also have some ideas for how we can now most effectively make progress in Geneva and begin the very serious and difficult work of the transition," he said. --SPA 01:42 LOCAL TIME 22:42 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
