A trilateral meeting in Ankara to discuss regional security and enhance stability in Syria.

A trilateral meeting is set to take place in the Turkish capital Ankara on Monday, May 12, bringing together the foreign ministers of Turkey, Jordan, and Syria, with the presence of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi, and the Syrian Asaad al-Shaaban.

The talks aim to discuss the security and political developments in the region, according to Turkish diplomatic sources cited by Anadolu Agency.

The Turkish minister is expected to brief the participants on his country's support for Damascus' efforts to enhance security and stability, emphasizing "the importance of regional cooperation to address common challenges, particularly the issue of terrorism."

Fidan will also call for "ending Israeli aggressive policies towards the countries in the region, including Syria," as per the same sources.

During the meeting, Fidan will highlight the principle of "regional solutions to regional problems," calling for enhancing solidarity among neighboring countries to tackle escalating crises.

He will reiterate that "there is no place for any terrorist organization in the region's future," indicating that Ankara "will continue to take all measures to ensure this, in addition to supporting any Syrian or regional efforts to combat terrorism and secure borders."

In addition to the trilateral talks, today will witness bilateral meetings between Fidan and both Safadi and al-Shaaban, as part of broader efforts to de-escalate and achieve lasting stability in Syria and the region.

This meeting is connected to recent Turkish-Israeli negotiations held in the Azerbaijani capital Baku, mediated by Azerbaijan, with the aim of reducing tension and avoiding clashes in Syria.

These rounds addressed Israeli demands to ensure "the absence of forces threatening its security near its borders with Syria" and "the absence of strategic weapons on Syrian territories."

Meanwhile, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad confirmed in previous statements the existence of "indirect negotiations between Syria and Israel through mediators," aiming to calm the situation and prevent escalation, expressing his country's commitment to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and calling for "an end to Israeli violations."
