The United States is prepared to discuss with Russia joint efforts to stabilize war-torn Syria, including no-fly zones, U.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Wednesday.
He added the United States wanted to discuss with Russia the use of on-the-ground ceasefire observers and the coordinated delivery of humanitarian aid to Syrians.
"If our two countries work together to establish stability on the ground, it will lay a foundation for progress on the settlement of Syria`s political future," Tillerson said in a statement ahead of this week`s Group of 20 summit in Germany.
Tillerson also said Russia had an obligation to prevent the use of chemical weapons by the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
