叙利亚冲突的政治解决。四年多来，他全身心地投入，用数十年的经验和知识促进危机的和平解决。我们深切感谢他的坚决努力，感谢他面对最艰难的外交任务仍保持乐观的态度。我们相信，他的工作将为他的继任者提供一个很好的起点。实际上，这些实事求是的评估和反思今天得到雄辩的说明，它们极其有助于推动联合国主持的叙利亚人内部政治会谈。
For more than four years, he has devoted his full energy and his decades of experience and knowledge to facilitating a peaceful end to the crisis. We are deeply grateful for his determined efforts and for his continued sense of optimism while dealing with what has been one of the most difficult of diplomatic assignments. His work will, we believe, make an excellent starting point for his successor. Indeed, the honest assessment and reflection so eloquently presented today will be extremely useful for advancing the intra-Syrian political talks under the auspices of the United Nations.
