  Lavrov told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva that there is no place for terrorists and extremists in ceasefire agreements or the political process. Lavrov insisted that a landslide defeat of terrorists is a necessary precondition for securing the rights of the people in Syria and the rest of the region.

The two countries are co-chairing an international taskforce evaluating how the ceasefire is holding.
