According to the Syrian Presidency, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa accepted an official visit invitation from the French President, Emmanuel Macron for the coming period.
According to Sharaa’s office, it said that there was a telephone conversation between the two leaders that touched on core issues, particularly the economic sanctions imposed on Syria. Though there is no available information on details of the visit, the invitation is an important diplomatic engagement by France with Syria.
It comes after Assad’s fall when Syria is facing various challenges, with sanctions being one of the main reasons for economic hardship. Macron’s invitation is seen as a possible shift in diplomatic dialogue between the two nations. Observers will be watching closely to see if the visit leads to any policy shifts or relief measures for the Syrian people.
