USA thanks Kofi Annan for his dedicated services as Joint Special Envoy for Syria

Washington: (Saturday, August 04, 2012) The United States of America has thanked Kofi Annan, the UN-Arab League Joint Special Envoy for Syria for his dedicated efforts to promote peace in the region.

In her statement, while acknowledging his services, Hillary Clinton said, “Earlier today, I spoke with Kofi Annan and thanked him on behalf of the United States for his service as the UN-Arab League Joint Special Envoy for Syria.
Five months ago, he took on the heavy task of trying to bring an end to the killing of civilians in Syria and to forge a path toward a peaceful political transition and an inclusive, representative post-Assad Syria. He worked tirelessly to try to build consensus
in the international community, end the bloodshed, and usher in a government that would meet the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people. Unfortunately, the Security Council was blocked from giving him key tools to advance his efforts.

I wish Kofi Annan well in his future endeavors. To the Syrian people: the United States continues to stand with you and we remain committed to an effective and swift political transition as envisioned under the Annan framework.”
