Macron’s visit is historic and a turning point in the course of relations

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani considered on Tuesday that the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Damascus is “historic” and constitutes a “turning point” in the course of bilateral relations, stressing that his country will continue to “confront terrorism in all its forms.”

Al-Shaibani said in a post on the X platform that the “historic” visit of the French President constituted “a turning point in the course of Syrian-French relations, and established a new phase of partnership.”

He added, “Any attempts to obstruct Syria’s path or undermine its security and stability will not change the fact that it is steadily moving towards restoring its regional and international role,” after two explosions occurred on Tuesday morning near Macron’s residence hotel, where the French president, whose motorcade left the hotel shortly before the two explosions, continued his visit and met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the presidential palace.
