This official who recently visited the Middle East region said " we," actually do not make any pressure on the Syrian government in this regard so far.

He added that European- Syrian relations are good, but differ slightly from one country to another, he indicated the visits held by President Bashar al-Assad to each of France, and German, noting that the British government extended an invitation to President al-Assad and " we expect him to fulfil this visit" at a time to be agreed by the two sides.
