New Delhi : Syria wants India to play an important role in finding a political solution in that strife-torn nation, according to Bouthaina Shaaban, media and political advisor to the Syrian presidency.
"We want India and the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) to play an important role in the political process, convening Geneva II and finding a solution to the crisis," Shaaban said while speaking to the media here Thursday evening after a meeting with India's External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid.
"I met Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid today and the Indian side appreciated my coming here immediately after Moscow," she said.
Shabaan was part of a Syrian delegation that visited Moscow earlier this month to discuss the convening of the Geneva II peace conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and other leaders.
