Al Nasser regrets Annan’s resignation

HE President of the UN General Assembly Nassir Abdulaziz Al Nasser has expressed regrets at the resignation of Kofi Annan, the UN-Arab League joint special envoy for Syria. In a statement released by his spokesperson, Al Nasser commended the relentless efforts of Annan over the past five months to fulfill the mandate of the UN General Assembly. Al Nasser said he understood how difficult Annan’s task had been. “Annan’s well-known experience, wisdom and worldwide credibility were invaluable assets in his difficult mission,” he added. Al Nasser once again called on the international community to fully unite to put an end to the violence in Syria and find a peaceful solution to the crisis. Given that the six-point plan is not being implemented and that the violence is increasing, Member States have no choice but to take the necessary credible action, he said.
