US is monitoring Syrian interim govt as it determines policy, State Dept says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is monitoring the actions of Syria’s new leaders as Washington determines future policy and continues to call for an inclusive, civilian-led government in Syria, U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on Friday.

“We are monitoring the Syrian interim authorities’ actions in general, across a number of issues, as we determine and think about the future U.S. policy for Syria,” she told a daily briefing for reporters.

“We also continue to call for an inclusive, civilian-led government that can ensure national institutions are effective, responsive and representative,” Bruce said.
