What did Putin talk about with the new Syrian leader?

According to an official statement issued by the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The phone conversation marks a new stage in Syrian politics since the overthrow of the Kremlin-backed regime of Bashar al-Assad two months ago. The phone call reflects not only the ongoing exchange of views between the two leaders, but also the focus on regional security and socio-economic issues.

Main topics and content of the statement

According to a statement published on the Kremlin's official website, the two leaders exchanged views on the current situation in Syria. President Putin wished the Syrian interim president success in resolving the issues that are arising in the interests of the Syrian people, and also expressed Moscow's readiness to support the Syrian population in providing humanitarian assistance and improving the socio-economic situation in the country.

The issue of strategic facilities

It should be noted in the statement that the issue of preserving Moscow's Tartus seaport and Hmeimim air base was not discussed during the telephone conversation between the two leaders. At present, Moscow has not been able to reach an agreement on preserving these military facilities, which once again demonstrates the strategic importance of the region.

Future negotiations

The Syrian government, in its own statement, said that it expects Russia to take concrete measures such as compensation, reconstruction and rehabilitation. These demands are expected to occupy a central place in future negotiations between the two sides. As a result, the parties agreed to continue the negotiations, which opens the door to new agreements in the process of changes taking place on the territory of Syria.

This telephone conversation not only marks a new stage in political and economic relations between Russia and Syria, but also marks the beginning of a broader discussion on regional security, the preservation of strategic facilities and the importance of humanitarian assistance. It is noted that both sides are currently striving to work together to protect their mutual interests and resolve issues in the interests of the Syrian people. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
