“We discussed the Khashukji case and the need to work together to de-escalate the conflict in Syria, support the strengthening of the peace process under the auspices of the UN and achieve a long-term peace,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, Pompeo said that the United States would work with other states to bring to justice all those responsible for the killing of Hashukji.

The journalist was killed during the conflict in the Consulate General of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul on October 2. He was strangled, after which his body was dismembered and destroyed.
