CAMP DAVID, May 19 (Reuters) – French President Francois

Hollande said on Saturday that G8 countries had agreed to

continue supporting U.N. and Arab League special envoy Kofi

Annan’s Syrian peace efforts.

“I insisted that all the participants support Kofi Anan’s

mission so that observers can provide protection of the Syrian

people from their leaders,” Hollande said referring to U.N.

personnel operating in the country.
