Defense ministers of Syria and Türkiye hold meeting

Damascus, Dec 29 (Prensa Latina) The Syrian Ministry of Defense described as positive the meeting held on Wednesday between the Syrian minister, Ali Mahmoud Abbas, and from Türkiye, Hulusi Akar.

The Ministry issued a statement revealing that the meeting was also attended by the heads of intelligence services of the two countries as well as by Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu.

The talks, as reported by Syria’s news agency SANA, addressed the situation in Syria, the issue of refugees and efforts to combat terrorism.

The need and importance of continuing the dialogue for the benefit of stability in Syria and the entire region was also stressed upon.
