Montreux, Switzerland: Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy told Al-Monitor that "the maximum" the plenary session of the Geneva II conference on Syria can achieve here January 22 is for the "international community and the parties to express their support for a political resolution to this conflict."
Fahmy, who served as Egypt's ambassador to the United States from 1999-2008, spoke to Al-Monitor's Andrew Parasiliti and Laura Rozen on Tuesday night at his hotel in Montreaux on the eve of the international conference.
