SAEDNEWS: The head of the US military’s Central Command held talks Friday with Syria’s HTS-led regime head previously known as Abu Muhhamd Jolani Ahmad al-Sharaa in Damascus on Friday.
The visit by Adm. Brad Cooper included US Ambassador and Special Envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack, Central Command said. The two officials met al-Sharaa at the presidential palace in the Syrian capital, AP reported.
Al-Sharaa’s office issued a statement saying they discussed political and military cooperation and how to boost security and stability in Syria as it struggles to recover after the country’s nearly 14-year internal war.
The meeting focused on the threat still posed by the ISIL, as well as efforts to integrate Syrian armed groups into the government’s military, Central Command said.
