On Tuesday, the UN said De Mistura had "a supportive social event" with Bourita and could "definitely continue with his principal objective".

"He didn't lose chance of improvement. The singular messenger is accountable for where he goes and he will pick where he goes," said UN delegate Stephane Dujarric in New York.
