Transitional President of the Syrian Arab Republic, Ahmad al-Shaara, will pay a visit to Ankara on Tuesday, February 4, upon the invitation of our President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

During the talks to be held at the Presidential Complex, the latest developments in Syria will be discussed in all their aspects, and the joint steps to be taken by the two countries for the economic recovery, sustainable stability and security in the country will be evaluated.

The talks will also focus on support that can be provided to the transitional administration and the Syrian people on multilateral platforms.
