Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Syrian President Ahmed al Sharaa discussed regional developments, including ongoing US-Iran negotiations, during a phone call on Wednesday, according to Qatar's state news agency QNA.
The two leaders also reviewed bilateral relations and explored ways to strengthen cooperation between their countries, the report said.
They exchanged views on regional developments, particularly progress in negotiations between Washington and Tehran under a memorandum of understanding reached by the two sides, as well as diplomatic efforts aimed at enhancing regional security and stability.
Sheikh Tamim stressed the importance of continued coordination and consultation among regional countries, while supporting regional and international efforts to promote de-escalation and preserve stability.
Earlier on Wednesday, Sheikh Tamim told US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during a meeting in Doha that Qatar, in partnership with Pakistan, would continue supporting negotiations under the US-Iran memorandum in pursuit of a "comprehensive and sustainable" settlement, according to the Emir’s administrative office, the Amiri Court.
Iran and the United States reached the memorandum of understanding on June 18, providing for a ceasefire, the lifting of the US naval blockade on Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Technical negotiations between Washington and Tehran began in Switzerland on June 21 under joint Qatari-Pakistani mediation as part of efforts to implement the agreement.
