Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani met the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Syria and Iraq, Tom Barrack, in Istanbul Sunday.
The two sides discussed bilateral relations and ways to strengthen cooperation further, in addition to reviewing the latest international developments and ongoing efforts to promote stability across the region.
In a statement published on its official platforms, the Syrian Foreign Ministry said that the discussions focused on enhancing Syrian-American relations, as well as regional stability initiatives and current regional and international developments.
The meeting comes amid growing momentum in Syria-U.S. ties following a series of official meetings and diplomatic contacts addressing regional stability, economic cooperation, and Syria’s reintegration into the regional and international community.
Al-Shaibani had previously met Barrack in the Turkish capital, Ankara, in April, where the two officials discussed regional developments and ways to support stability in Syria.
