Experts discuss how to take chemical weapons out of Syria safely
Consultations in Moscow, bringing together experts from Russia, the United States, China, Syria and the UN, discuss interaction to ensure a safe withdrawal of chemical weapons from Syria.
The consultations proceed behind closed doors. The Russian delegation includes officials from the foreign and defense ministries. "The consultations will focus on purely practical issues, connected with how to organize and ensure the safety of taking out poisonous substances from the Syrian coast by sea," Foreign Ministry sources have told Itar-Tass.
The operation is international, that is why "it is extremely important to coordinate details, in order not to disrupt interaction," they said.
Russia has voiced its readiness to provide naval ships to escort the dangerous cargo.
