In a post on X, Barrack highlighted a collective determination to move toward a future that enables Syria and its people to live in peace, security, and prosperity, adding that the primary goal is to ensure the rights of all its citizens and end the country's protracted conflicts.

The planned talks come amid rising tensions between Damascus and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), especially after the conference of North and East Syria components in Hasakah. In its final statement, the conference called for establishing a decentralized state and adopting a constitution that enshrines ethnic, religious, and cultural pluralism — a move that drew a sharp response from Damascus.
