Macron Visits Syria Amid New Diplomacy | Europe News
Description
French President Emmanuel Macron makes a historic trip to Damascus, the first by an EU head of state since Assad’s ouster, signaling a seismic shift in Syria’s global standing under new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa. Macron’s mission: to rebuild trust, revive economic ties with French giants like TotalEnergies and CMA CGM, and push for a pluralistic, peaceful Syria — while firmly insisting on respecting human rights and halting Syrian involvement in Lebanon. The visit comes amid rising diplomatic momentum, with Syria joining the U.S. anti-ISIS coalition and recent high-level visits from Qatar and the EU Commission, all pointing to a fragile but hopeful new chapter in Syria’s international relations.
