The Syrian government's delegation to the Astana-format reconciliation talks in the Russian resort city of Sochi submitted a list of abductees and missing people for exchange to the guarantor states of the Syrian ceasefire regime, the delegation's head, Bashar Jafaari, said on Tuesday.

"Another positive result is about detainees and missing people and abductees. Our position coincides with the views of Russia and Iran on this issue... We submitted a pilot list of missing people and abductees. It's initial, we can further change it and add people to it. It will possibly be extended after we get the same list from the radical armed groups," Jafaari said after the end of the talks.

The guarantors of the Syrian ceasefire regime under the Astana reconciliation process includes Russia, Iran and Turkey.
