Syria Formalizes Political Cooperation Deal with Global Coalition
(MENAFN) Syria formalized a political cooperation agreement with the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, affirming its position as a “partner in combating terrorism and supporting regional stability,” Syrian Information Minister Hamza al-Mustafa announced Monday.
“The agreement is political and until now contains no military components,” al-Mustafa said on the US social media company X’s platform.
The announcement followed a high-profile meeting at the White House between Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and US President Donald Trump, described by al-Mustafa as “warm, candid, and forward-looking, lasting for over an hour.”
Quoting Trump directly, al-Mustafa said the US president remarked: “You have done a great job — you have our support.” Discussions reportedly focused on boosting economic cooperation, attracting American investment to Syria, and lifting sanctions imposed under the Caesar Act.
Trump also emphasized his commitment, al-Mustafa added: “We have to get this done — we have to help Syria.”
The minister noted that the talks included plans to integrate the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the Syrian Army, part of broader efforts “to unify state institutions and ensure lasting stability.”
On regional security, Trump “expressed his support for a potential security arrangement with Israel, aimed at enhancing national and regional stability.”
In a diplomatic milestone, the US announced the official reopening of the Syrian Embassy in Washington, DC, ending more than a decade of closure.
The meetings continued with a follow-up session between Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, aimed at developing an executive plan for the agreed points, highlighting “both sides’ seriousness and commitment to tangible progress.”
Sharaa departed the White House later Monday after nearly two hours of talks with Trump and senior officials. His visit marks the first time a Syrian leader has visited the White House since the country gained independence nearly 80 years ago.
