Fidan partakes in Trump-Sharaa meeting at White House


(MENAFN) Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan confirmed on Monday that he attended the meeting between Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and US President Donald Trump, participating at the invitation of the US administration.

"I was also present. We conveyed our president's (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) greetings and best wishes to Trump," Fidan told Turkish media outlets, including a Turkish.

He added, "We then had the opportunity to discuss Türkiye's general views on Syria, opportunities for cooperation with the US, and numerous issues related to Syria's development, unity, solidarity, peace and regional security."

"Of course, my presence at the White House today coincided with the visit of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa," Fidan noted.

In addition to attending the trilateral meeting, Fidan held separate discussions with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Special Envoy for Syria and Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack.
