French President, US President to implement ceasefire accord in Syria

Paris, March 03: French President Emmanuel Macron and his US counterpart Donald Trump have agreed on the immediate implementation of ceasefire accord in Syria, the French presidency said on Friday.

In a phone conversation on Thursday, both leaders "decided to work together for the implementation of resolution 2401 to allow the cessation of hostilities, the delivery of humanitarian aid, and the evacuation of the wounded and sick," the Elysee said, Xinhua reported.

The French President reiterated that Paris would have a "firm response" in coordination with Washington if the investigation into Syrian forces' use of toxic gas against civilians proved that this was true.
