Macron expected to visit Syria to strengthen relations

1 min read

State news agency SANA, citing the Syrian presidency media office, said French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to visit Syria to discuss ways to strengthen bilateral relations and issues of common interest, though no date was specified. The announcement is notable because the report called this the first visit by a Western European head of state since the 2024 toppling of Bashar al-Assad. The expected visit could signal a shift in diplomatic engagement and will likely draw international attention as governments and observers watch for formal scheduling and the topics planned for discussion.
