French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday urged Syria's new leaders to ensure "governance that is representative and respectful of all" at a Paris conference on the transition in the war-torn country after Bashar al-Assad's fall.
"The hope you carry on your shoulders is immense," he said at the international meeting attended by Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani.
Islamist-led rebels toppled Assad in December after a lightning offensive.
