PARIS
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has called on the international community to pay attention to the delay in the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons.
Fabius said: "It seems that the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons lags behind the schedule, the international community should pay attention to whether the promises given are kept or not."
The UN Security Council decided on the deadline of December 31, 2013, for the transfer of Syria's chemical stockpile out of the country for destruction.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called for the Syria regime to accelerate the transfer process and criticized it for the unexcused delay in a statement he delivered on January 27.
