EU's Kaja Kallas Sends Diplomatic Envoy to Damascus on December 16, 2024, After Bashar al-Assad's Ouster
Dec 16, 2024, 08:36 AM
The European Union is taking significant diplomatic steps in response to the recent changes in Syria's political landscape. Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, announced that a senior diplomat will travel to Damascus on December 16, 2024, to engage with the newly established government. This move follows the ousting of Bashar al-Assad and is part of the EU's effort to assess and determine its future relations with Syria based on the actions of the new regime. Kallas emphasized that the EU's subsequent steps will depend on how the new leadership behaves in the coming weeks. This initiative aligns with similar moves by other Western powers, including the United States and the United Kingdom, which have also begun to establish contact with Syria's new authorities.
