Damascus: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio underscored Monday the opportunity for Syria to build a stable and sovereign nation following President Trump's historic announcement earlier this year on sanctions relief for the Syrian people.
According to Kuwait News Agency, US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the remarks were made during Rubio's meeting with Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa. The meeting focused on US priorities in Syria, highlighting the collaborative efforts towards regional stability.
The two leaders discussed ongoing counterterrorism efforts, initiatives to locate missing Americans, and the significance of Israel-Syria relations in achieving greater regional security. These discussions are seen as pivotal steps toward fostering cooperation and addressing key security concerns in the region.
