During the discussions, al-Sharaa reaffirmed the Syrian government's commitment to upholding the principles of equality, citizenship, and competence, regardless of religious, ethnic, or sectarian differences, a source who attended the meeting told Al Mayadeen.

The source described it as "positive and constructive," with al-Sharaa emphasizing the need to view all Syrians through the lens of national unity.

He pointed out the urgent need to address the long-standing issues caused by the war, which have created tensions and difficulties in many communities.
