Delegations from Syria, Turkey, and Iraq have gathered in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on Sunday, March 9, for high-level talks aimed at enhancing regional security and cooperation.
The discussions, according to sources, will focus on security collaboration, counterterrorism efforts, and measures to combat organized crime. Broader regional issues are also on the agenda.
The meeting comes amid escalating concerns over a potential resurgence of the Islamic State militant group, following the ousting of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. Both Western and Middle Eastern governments have issued warnings about the possibility of the group's revival.
Syria’s interim president, Ahmed Sharaa, made a public call for peace on Sunday as the nation grapples with one of the deadliest waves of violence since the civil war began 13 years ago. The ongoing conflict, which has primarily seen Assad loyalists clashing with the country's new Islamist rulers, has already claimed the lives of hundreds.
According to a war monitoring group, at least 1,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since the clashes erupted four days ago in Assad's coastal stronghold.
The regional talks in Amman are expected to address these urgent security concerns while seeking pathways to restore stability in the war-torn region.
