<p>We continue to support the Syrian moderate opposition who have previously shown
themselves capable of pushing Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) back, and
are at the forefront of the fight against them. The only sustainable solution to the
crisis in Syria is through reaching a negotiated political transition by mutual consent,
which would enable moderate Syrians to come together to counter ISIL, free from the
attacks of the regime. We must stick to this fundamental principle, endorsed by the
United Nations Security Council. To achieve this we are continuing to put pressure
on the Assad regime and its international backers to engage in the political process
and we are supporting the moderate opposition who will be a critical component of
peace talks. The UK is delivering £30 million of non-lethal support this year to strengthen
an inclusive moderate opposition as well as to bolster regional stability.</p>
