EU's Mogherini urges 'strong push' for Syria peace talks

EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini today urged the international community to press ahead with Syria peace talks, made more urgent after a suspected chemical weapons attack left more than 70 dead in a rebel-held town.

"We need to give a push, a strong push to the political talks in Geneva. We have to unite the international community behind these negotiations," Mogherini said as she went into a Syrian aid conference in Brussels.
