President Obama spoke today by video
conference with Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom, President
Francois Hollande of France, and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany to discuss
the current situation in Syria and the ongoing refugee and migration crisis
facing Europe. The leaders welcomed the prospect of a cessation of
hostilities in Syria as outlined by the understanding reached in Munich on
February 11, called on all parties to implement it faithfully, and reaffirmed
their commitment to a political transition in Syria that will bring lasting
peace and legitimate governance to the Syrian people. The leaders
underscored the importance of an immediate halt to the indiscriminate bombing
of civilian populations. The President also discussed with his counterparts
steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Syria and the importance of the
NATO mission and coordination between Greece and Turkey to manage the flow of
migrants into Europe.
