The discussion centered on the latest developments in Syria and the broader region, with both leaders exchanging views on the international community's role in ensuring an orderly political transition.
Fidan and Guterres also addressed critical measures to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to war-affected areas and the reconstruction of Syria.
