no decision made on participation in France's Mideast conference

The US Department of State was unable to say on Wednesday whether US Secretary of State John Kerry will attend a planned May 30 meeting in Paris over the Middle East peace process, the Daily Mail reported on Thursday.

"We remain concerned about the continued violence on the ground and we welcome all ideas on moving this forward," US spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said.

"On this specific conference, on the May 30 event, no decision's been made on participation," she added.

"We still remain in consultation with the French and other international partners on it," she said.
