- On October 11, Mazloum Abdi said he reached a preliminary verbal agreement with Damascus to integrate the SDF into the Syrian army, though no formal document has been signed.
- Washington proposed forming a joint force between the SDF and the Syrian army to sustain the fight against ISIS, and Abdi accepted this as part of a comprehensive Syrian‑Syrian solution for stability.
- Military and security delegations have travelled to Damascus to restructure the SDF, which has around 100,000 members, under the Syrian defence ministry framework.
- A comprehensive ceasefire was agreed across northern and northeastern Syria with immediate implementation, and talks aim to amend the constitution to include March 10 Agreement terms and Kurdish rights, Abdi said.
- The delegation credited the French Foreign Ministry, U.S. Central Command, and the U.S. Embassy in Turkey for facilitating talks, while Abdi said success hinges on Turkey's role and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged integration.
