US Secretary of State John Kerry is hitting the road again this weekend for discussions about the war in Syria in France and Kuwait, just two weeks before peace talks are due to get underway.
In his 22nd trip since becoming secretary of state, Kerry will also push his vision for a Middle East peace treaty, with plans to brief Arab League ministers on progress so far.
Less than a week after returning from Israel, the top US diplomat will leave again on Saturday, heading first for Paris and a meeting of ministers from the "Friends of Syria" grouping, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday.
During his stay in the French capital, Kerry will also have discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday.
