Syrian FM Asaad Hassan al-Shibani to visit Ankara for key talks

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani is set to arrive in Ankara on Monday for discussions with Turkish officials.
The visit aligns with a concurrent meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, also taking place in Ankara on the same day. While specific agendas for both sets of talks remain undisclosed, the overlapping visits underscore Türkiye’s pivotal role in regional diplomacy, particularly as tensions and conflicts in the Middle East and beyond continue to evolve.
Al-Shibani’s trip follows ongoing efforts to navigate Syria’s complex political landscape, with Türkiye serving as a key player in the region. Meanwhile, Lavrov’s discussions with Fidan are expected to touch on pressing issues, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and broader geopolitical developments.
The convergence of these meetings highlights Ankara’s position as a hub for dialogue among major regional and international actors, with outcomes likely to influence dynamics across multiple fronts. Further details on the talks are anticipated as the day unfolds. (ILKHA)
