The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced that Chief of Staff Ali al-Nasran held a meeting with a delegation from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to discuss the integration of their military units into several brigades of the Syrian army. This meeting highlights the ongoing efforts to unify military forces in the region amid a backdrop of complex military dynamics and previous agreements aimed at stabilizing the areas under SDF control.

Additionally, the discussion included various other topics related to military deployment and administrative procedures. This meeting followed a previous agreement reached in January 2025, where both the Syrian government and the SDF decided on a ceasefire and outlined steps for a gradual integration of their military and administrative units. The agreement reflects a significant shift in the relationship between these forces and indicates a joint effort to address security and governance in northern Syria.

The implications of this meeting and the agreements reached could lead to a reconfiguration of power dynamics within the region. Following a recent military campaign by the Syrian army that regained control over significant areas in eastern and northeastern Syria, the integration of SDF forces into the Syrian military may serve to strengthen the central government's authority and could pave the way for more profound political changes in the conflict-ridden country.
