2013-09-17 82

France, Britain and the United States have said they will seek a "strong and robust" UN resolution that sets precise and binding deadlines on removal of Syria's chemical weapons, the office of the French President Francois Hollande said.

Monday's statement follows talks between foreign ministers of the three countries and Hollande in Paris - two days after Moscow and Washington reached a deal on chemical weapons that could avert US military action.
