JAKARTA - The European Union welcomes the ceasefire between the Syrian government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the north as a "positive step to stop the escalation" in the region.
"The ceasefire between the Syrian Transitional Authority and the Syrian Defense Forces is a positive step to stop the escalation in northeastern Syria. We ask all parties to implement and reach a comprehensive agreement in northeastern Syria to ensure de-escalation," said the spokesperson for foreign affairs of the European Union, Anouar El Anouni, reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Saturday, January 24.
The European Union stressed the importance of continued dialogue and urged both parties to implement a ceasefire by completing a political settlement of the border that addresses security, governance and humanitarian issues in the area.
On Sunday, Syrian President Ahmed Sharaa and SDF leader Mazloum Abdi signed a new deal on an urgent ceasefire following weeks of fierce fighting in Aleppo and other areas of northern Syria.
Then on Tuesday, the Syrian Ministry of Defense said it would impose a ceasefire in northeastern Syria for four days.
