Foreign Minister Børge Brende welcomes the ceasefire agreement on Syria between Russia and the United States.

– I welcome the plan of the United States and Russia . If it is introduced, it will reduce the violence in Syria, move the political process forward and ensure access for emergencies help,  Brende writes on Twitter.

US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov agreed on a plan for Syria on Friday. This  means that all parties in Syria have to lay down their arms once the sun goes down on Monday 12 September.
