GENEVA:US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday he hoped to make progress in discussions in Geneva over the next two days toward renewing a cessation of hostilities agreement throughout Syria and resuming peace talks to end the fighting.

"The hope is we can make some progress," Kerry said at the start of a meeting with Jordan´s Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh shortly after arriving in Geneva.

"These are critical hours, we look for Russia´s cooperation, and we obviously look for the regime to listen to Russia and to respond."
