(With photos) MADRID, April 8 (KUNA) -- Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy said Monday Madrid and London were very concerned over the deterioration of humanitarian situation in Syria, calling for solving the Syrian crisis politically.
Rajoy, at a joint news conference following his talks with his British counterpart David Cameron, said Britain and Spain were contributing, within the European Union (EU), to uniting different Syrian opposition groups in order to guarantee a political transition.
Cameron did not attend the news conference and returned to London immediately after the news of the death of former prime minister Baroness Margret Thatcher.
Rajoy said he and Cameron discussed the situation in Mali, noting that Spain and Britain were keen on peaceful settlement in the African country.
They also discussed the economic crisis in the eurozone, he said, and that the two sides agreed to continue reforms in all sectors. (end) hnd.bs KUNA 082048 Apr 13NNNN
