State Minister for Media Affairs and Government Spokesman Muhammad al-Momani said the Kingdom supports all efforts and initiatives designed at brining about a comprehensive ceasefire on all Syrian territory.
Another track of talks brokered by Russian Federation - a key Assad ally - has also been happening in Astana, Kazakhstan, since January.
Since a resumption of peace negotiations a year ago, there have been multiple rounds brokered by the United Nations in Geneva between representatives of Syrian rebels and the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, resulting in scant progress.
Meanwhile, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said on Monday that a fresh round of intra-Syrian talks would begin in the Swiss city of Geneva on July 10.
But the army said all combat operations will stop for 48 hours as of 12pm on Saturday (0900 GMT).

It is worth recalling that more than 320,000 people have lost their lives in the six-year.
A "de-escalation agreement" brokered by Iran, Russia and Turkey in May has not brought any relief to the city, activists said.
Rebels control around 60 percent of Deraa city, and the province as a whole is one of the last remaining bastions of opposition forces in the country.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) war monitor said the level of violence in Deraa had fallen seven hours after Saturday's ceasefire was due to take effect, but the SOHR and rebels said there was some bombardment for the first couple of hours.
Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said they would abide by a 48-hour ceasefire in the southern city of Daraa.
