LONDON (Sputnik) – The only lasting solution to the Syrian conflict is the formation of a government that represents the interests of all the factions in Syrian society, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday.

"A long-term solution to the crisis in Syria can only be reached with a political transition to a new government that meets the needs of all its people. And we must continue to work toward that, however difficult it may be,” Cameron said in an address to participants of the 2016 Supporting Syria and the Region Conference in London.

Since the beginning of the Syrian proxy war in 2011, the United States and its allies have supported opposition factions they consider to be "moderate," and have called on Syrian President Bashar Assad to resign.

Russia recognizes the Syrian president as the legitimate authority in the country, stressing that the Syrian people should be free to chose their leadership without outside intervention.
