President Barack Obama's special Middle East envoy says the US administration is determined to achieve a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace settlement.
Obama to push for lasting Middle East peace
George Mitchell was speaking to reporters in Damascus following talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
It is Mitchell's second visit to Syria since he took up his post, unusual because the country is listed by Washington as a state sponsor of terrorism and was snubbed by President Bush.
Last month, Mitchell became the highest-level US administration official to visit Damascus since 2005.
He said stability, security and prosperity for all of the states in the region could only occur following a full and wide-ranging peace deal.
