In a significant diplomatic development, the Syrian Foreign Minister conducted high-level meetings with American officials in Washington this week. This visit marks the first official trip by a Syrian foreign minister to the United States in twenty-five years.
The minister was photographed entering discussions at the U.S. Department of Treasury building, with additional meetings scheduled with congressional representatives on Capitol Hill.
This diplomatic engagement follows substantial policy shifts toward Syria in recent months. The current administration has removed all economic sanctions that were previously imposed on the country, signaling a new chapter in bilateral relations.
The talks are expected to focus on implementing cooperative measures between the two nations and establishing frameworks for future collaboration. This represents a notable departure from previous decades when Syria faced international isolation over terrorism sponsorship allegations.
The discussions come as both countries seek to redefine their relationship following extensive regional changes and leadership transitions in Damascus.
