In Syria, the head of the U.N. team tasked with destroying Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile says the mission is continuing on schedule. Sigrid Kaag of the U.N.-OPCW spoke to reporters in Damascus.

Sigrid Kaag: “We’ve had very good meetings with the Syrian government at most senior level. There is continuous strong cooperation, which the secretary-general and the director-general of OPCW have also confirmed in recent statements. And we build on this because we have one shared goal, which is elimination of the program, which is of benefit to all, and particularly the Syrian people.”
