British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed efforts with partners late Saturday to foster a more "hopeful, secure and peaceful Syria."
"We have collectively agreed principles required to support a Syrian-led transitional political process," Lammy wrote on X.
Bashar Assad, Syria's leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec. 8, ending the Baath Party regime, which had been in power in Syria since 1963.
