Shafaq News/ Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa met Izzat al-Shabandar, the special envoy of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, in Damascus on Monday.

Posting on X, the Syrian Presidency confirmed that al-Sharaa received al-Shabandar at the Presidential Palace, with no further details about the meeting. 

In mid-March, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani visited Iraq, where he met with al-Sudani and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein. He later joined the Arab League summit hosted by Baghdad in May. Al-Sharaa and al-Sudani had held talks in mid-April, following Qatari mediation.

In earlier remarks, al-Sudani voiced Iraq’s readiness to cooperate with Syria on securing their shared border and facilitating the return of Syrian refugees, pledging Baghdad’s support for Damascus during the transitional phase.
