He met with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to strengthen bilateral ties. Additionally, he held consultations with the Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Hungarian Foreign Minister to explore opportunities for enhanced cooperation in various sectors.
