The foreign ministers of France and Germany, Jean-Noël Barrot and Annalena Baerbock, respectively, have arrived in Damascus to meet with Ahmed al-Sharaa, the leader of Syria's new government. This visit marks the first high-level engagement by European Union diplomats with the new Syrian administration since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. The visit is conducted under the mandate of the European Union, with both ministers expressing a desire to support a peaceful transition in Syria for the benefit of its people and regional stability. They also plan to visit the notorious Saydnaya prison near Damascus, a symbol of the previous regime's mass repression, and meet with representatives of Syrian civil society.
