Leaders of major G7 democracies have said they are "ready to support a transition process leading to credible, inclusive and non-sectarian governance" in Syria.
According to foreign media, the G7 said a political transition after the end of Bashar al-Assad's rule had to ensure "respect for the rule of law, universal human rights, including women's rights, the protection of all Syrians, including religious and ethnic minorities, transparency and accountability".
A statement said: "The G7 will work with and fully support a future Syrian government that adheres to those standards and the results of this process."
The leaders also called on "all parties" to "maintain the territorial integrity and national unity of Syria and respect its independence and sovereignty."
We recall that there were concerns among Western nations about the future government in Syria, writes A2 CNN.
But Abu Mohammad al Jolani, the head of Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS), who now prefers to go by his birth name Ahmed al Sharaa, told Sky News his group does not seek further conflict and will bring stability in Syria.
The HTS leader is a former member of the Islamic State of Iraq and led al Qaeda's affiliate group in Syria before cutting ties with them in 2016.
He is now trying to present himself as a more moderate Islamist leader, but his group has been designated a terrorist organization by the UN, US, UK and other countries. (A2 Televizion)
