Syria ministers meet Putin to discuss defense, economic cooperation: SANA

Syria's foreign and defense ministers met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday to discuss expanding military, political and economic cooperation, with a focus on strategic collaboration in defense industries, Syria's state news agency SANA reported.

In October, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa paid an official visit to Russia, where he said his government would honor all past deals struck between Damascus and Moscow, a pledge that suggested Russia's two main military bases in Syria were secure. Putin said at the time that Moscow was ready to do all it could to act on what he called "many interesting and useful beginnings" discussed by the two sides on renewing relations.

On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani and Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra discussed ways to develop military cooperation to strengthen the Syrian army's defensive capabilities, including by modernizing equipment and transferring expertise, SANA said.
