NNA - President Francois Hollande said on Thursday that France wanted to see a more open political dialogue on Syria that would "speak to all parties" in the two-year crisis, Reuters reported.
"We want political dialogue. We think that this dialogue must find a new form so that it speaks to all parties," Hollande said, after discussing the crisis with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a visit to Moscow.
Hollande said that while France and Russia both wanted to prevent the breakup of Syria, they had different ideas on how to achieve that.
