Guterres visits Damascus after 2009
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, has arrived in Damascus in the first visit by a UN Secretary-General since 2009, during Syria's transitional phase following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in December 2024. The visit underscored the United Nations’ commitment to supporting Syria, with a focus on respecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as continuing efforts to recover from the effects of the conflict. The trip also included meetings with Syrian officials and members of civil society. Guterres is also scheduled to visit the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) stationed in the Golan Heights to monitor the ceasefire, amid ongoing tensions following the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement, as Israel conducts incursions into the buffer zone despite the UN’s calls for respecting Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
