Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muaallem arrived in Moscow on Sunday to hold talks with Russian officials on Syria's cooperation with the UN inquiry into the killing of the former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri

Just last Sunday, Syria vowed to fully cooperate with the UN investigation, saying the terms of the cooperation had been agreed upon with the new head of the UN inquiry, Serge Brammertz.

Brammertz's first report to the UN Security Council is due in mid-March.

The top UN envoy for Syria and Lebanon, Terje Roed-Larsen, will also be in Moscow for talks at the same time as the Syrian foreign minister, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.
