Kerry says Syria compliance on chemical weapons "good beginning"
US Secretary of State John Kerry Monday welcomed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad`s early compliance with a plan to destroy Syria`s chemical weapons arsenal, dpa reported.
"It`s a good beginning and we should welcome a good beginning," Kerry said after talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Bali, Indonesia.

On Sunday international inspectors began destroying Syria`s chemical weapons and equipment under a US-Russian disarmament plan backed by a UN Security Council resolution.

The plan aims to have Syria`s chemical weapons arsenal removed or destroyed by mid-2014.
