Communication channels between Russia and the United States on flight safety over Syrian airspace are working, Interfax news agency reported on Friday, citing Russia's Defence Ministry.
The ministry said that its officials held a video conference with the U.S. counterparts on Friday and discussed possible measures to develop their memorandum of understanding on flight safety over Syria approved in 2015, APA reports quoting Reuters.
"The absence of significant incidents due to actions of Russian airforce and U.S.-led coalition in Syria was stated," the ministry was quoted as saying.
Top U.S. and Russian military leaders had agreed at a meeting in Azerbaijan in February to enhance communication to avoid "unintended incidents", in an apparent attempt to avoid encounters in the skies over Syria.
