Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will meet United Nations Special Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi today in Dublin to discuss options for ending the Syrian conflict, said a State Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
While Clinton and Lavrov have discussed Syria several times in recent months, Brahimi’s involvement suggests today’s meeting may offer an opportunity for a breakthrough. Clinton and Lavrov, both in Dublin for a gathering of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe, will meet with the UN envoy later today. Clinton met with Brahimi in Washington on Nov. 30.
