ANKARA — Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani in Ankara on 9 October 2026, Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry announced.
The ministry’s brief notice confirmed that the meeting took place but did not publish a detailed agenda, agreement or outcome. No additional commitments should be inferred from that announcement.
The meeting follows other high-level contacts between Türkiye and Syria. Türkiye’s published policy framework emphasises Syria’s unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity and stability.
Those general policy positions are background, rather than confirmation that each issue was discussed at this specific meeting. Any account of negotiations, implementation commitments or further arrangements requires a separate official statement. The photograph used with this brief is an archive image and does not depict the 9 October meeting.
