Guterres' first Syria visit since 2009
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, visited Syria for the first time since 2009, where he met with Syrian President Ahmad al-Shalal and government officials in Damascus, at the invitation of the Syrian government. The visit comes amid a transitional phase the country is experiencing following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime at the end of 2024, and aims to bolster UN support for the Syrians, with a focus on upholding Syria’s sovereignty and independence, as well as discussing political developments, recovery efforts, and reconstruction. The meetings also addressed the situation in the de-escalation zone in the Golan Heights, emphasizing the importance of respecting ceasefire agreements amid continued Israeli incursions and escalating regional tensions. This visit holds particular political significance, symbolizing UN support for the transitional and stabilizing phases in Syria after years of conflict.
