U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that he would meet his Russian partner in the coming days to talk about an American proposition for nearer military collaboration and knowledge sharing on Syria.
Kerry told correspondents that he may meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Geneva, yet showed itemized talks will probably happen on the sidelines of a social occasion of Southeast Asian countries in Laos on Monday and Tuesday.
Kerry guarded the U.S. proposition, which has been welcomed with profound distrust by top American military and knowledge authorities.
"The president of the United States has approved and requested this track," he said. "It is the president's yearning to test regardless of whether the Russians are set up to do what they said amid our transactions in Moscow that they will do."
"I don't remark on inward arrangements" inside the U.S. government, Kerry said. "The spot for these contentions to be contended is in the (White House) Situation Room with the president of the United States, and he has settled on a choice."
The proposed understanding - which Kerry talked about in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin a week ago - would require the Syrian government to stop assaults on U.S.- supported Syrian resistance warriors. Consequently, Russia would get U.S. insight target aggressor bunches in Syria, for example, Islamic State and al Qaeda associate Nusrah Front.
"We're going to test this deliberately construct not in light of trust, in light of particular strides," Kerry said of the discretion with Moscow. "In this way, it is demonstrating a smidgen of guarantee which, ideally, we can finish."
