They are encouraged by the constructive approach that has been taken so far.
The ministers welcome the continuation of technical work over the coming days, which will include discussions on humanitarian aspects and specific arrangements concerning hostages and detainees.
Senior officials are scheduled to meet before the end of next week with the goal of finalizing the agreement.
All parties are urged to continue engaging positively and flexibly in the process. The ministers emphasize the importance of avoiding any escalatory actions in the region that could undermine the prospects for peace, noting that there is much at stake.
