The head of T\u00fcrkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT), Ibrahim Kal\u0131n, met Syrian President Ahmad al\u2011Sharaa in Damascus on Monday as T\u00fcrkiye and Syria continue efforts to strengthen coordination on regional developments and bilateral cooperation.<\/p>\n

The meeting, held at the People’s Palace in the Syrian capital, was attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and General Intelligence Director Hussein al-Salamah, according to Syrian officials.<\/p>\n
