Germany is genuinely ready to take part in building the economic and social infrastructures in Syria, said the Russian president.

The German Chancellor, for her part, said Russian-German cooperation must “put aside major differences,” calling for devising a joint plan for a political settlement in Syria.

“We have discussed Syria and intensively exchanged views. In this regard, I believe that the ongoing process under the UN auspice is an opportunity that must be seized,” she added, voicing support for the efforts of the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura.
