In a significant diplomatic development, the Syrian Foreign Minister has conducted high-level meetings with American officials in Washington. This visit marks the first such engagement by a senior Syrian diplomat in a quarter-century.
The minister was photographed entering the U.S. Treasury Department, with additional meetings scheduled with congressional representatives on Capitol Hill. The discussions are expected to focus on implementing recent policy changes that have transformed bilateral relations.
The current administration has removed longstanding economic restrictions against Syria, signaling a major shift in foreign policy approach. These measures are part of broader efforts to support the nation’s current leadership following recent political changes.
The Washington meetings represent the most substantial diplomatic contact between the two countries in decades, coming after Syria’s previous designation as a state sponsor of terrorism under prior American administrations.
