Blinken Says Jordan Talks Emphasise Need for an ‘Inclusive’ Syrian Government

Arab, Western, and Turkish diplomats reached an agreement on Saturday during talks in Jordan, stressing the need for an “inclusive” government in Syria following the potential overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking to reporters after the meeting, stated that the participants would release a joint statement emphasising their unified stance.

“We agreed that the transition process should be Syrian-led and Syrian-owned and produce an inclusive and representative government,” Blinken said.

The talks, hosted in Jordan, come amid increasing international discussions on Syria’s future governance and the potential pathways to a political transition.
