US Secretary of State, John Kerry, arrived London on Friday for talks on Syria and on the refugees fleeing to Europe.
Kerry, who made no comment on his arrival, is expected to meet his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates, Abdullah bin Zayad, before talks on Saturday with British Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond.
The US is weighing a proposal by Moscow for military talks on Syria where Russia has been building a military presence in support of President Bashar al-Assad.
While no decision has been made by Washington, Kerry had said that he would support such discussions but would first know what Moscow’s intentions in Syria were.
The US, along with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, had supported insurgents battling to unseat Assad.
Meanwhile, the US said it was prepared to take in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016 and was considering other options to help.
After talks in London, Kerry would fly to Berlin on Sunday.
