The leader of Syria's new administration, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, met on Sunday with a Turkish delegation headed by İbrahim Kalın, head of the MIT, the country's national intelligence organization.
The meeting was also attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani and General Intelligence chief Anas Khattab, the state news agency SANA reported.
Bashar Assad, Syria's leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec. 8, ending his family's decades-long rule.
Since then, many countries worldwide, including Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, have launched relief and aid campaigns for the Syrian people.
