叙利亚政府已对旨在使我们摆脱目前危机的所有倡议和真诚努力表现出开放态度。正因如此-安理会意识到这一点-基于我们的国家责任感，基于我国人民的利益，我们表明了我们对联合国各项努力的承诺与合作，无论是在科菲·安南先生、拉赫达尔•卜拉希米先生或斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生访问期间，都是如此。在这方面，我们欢迎任命裴凯儒先生为秘书长叙利亚问题新特使，我们准备与他密切合作。
The Government of Syria has demonstrated its openness to all initiatives and sincere efforts aimed at bringing us out of the current crisis. That is why — and the Council is aware of this — based on our sense of national responsibility and what is in the interests of our people, we have demonstrated our commitment to, and cooperation with, United Nations efforts, whether during the mission of Mr. Kofi Annan, Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi or Mr. Staffan de Mistura. In that regard, we welcome the appointment of Mr. Geir Pedersen as the new Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, and we are prepared to work in close cooperation with him.
