Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Istanbul, marking a significant diplomatic engagement amid shifting international policies toward Syria.
The meeting took place at the Dolmabahce Palace overlooking the Bosphorus Strait.
This high-level visit follows the recent announcement by the U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to ease sanctions on Syria, aiming to support the country’s post-war reconstruction.
Alongside the two presidents, foreign ministers from both countries, Türkiye’s defense minister, and the head of the Turkish MIT intelligence agency participated in the discussions. The Syrian delegation included Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra, as reported by Syrian state media.
Earlier this week, MIT chief Ibrahim Kalin and President Sharaa reportedly held talks in Syria concerning the disarmament of the Kurdish YPG militant group and their integration into Syrian security forces, according to Turkish security sources.
