Geneva, March 21 (RHC-Xinhua) -- The UN Office of the Special Envoy for Syria (OSE) confirmed Tuesday that all the invitees who participated in last month's peace talks seeking to broker a political end to the six-year Syrian conflict will attend the next round of negotiations slated to kick off later this week.

"The Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, looks forward to the resumption of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva on March 23," OSE said in a statement.

"He notes that all invitees who had already attended the previous round of talks in February 2017 have confirmed their participation," it added.

De Mistura, who is mediating talks between various delegations, is scheduled to travel to Moscow and Ankara in the coming days to carry out further consultations with relevant sides.

The last round of intra-Syrian talks ended earlier this month with the envoy lauding the progress made in nine days of bilateral negotiations which yielded an agenda for future rounds of discussions.
