Qatar has reopened its embassy in Damascus, Syria, after 13 years, marking a significant step in resuming diplomatic relations. The Qatari flag was raised over the embassy building, signaling this development. This move comes as regional and Western countries are sending representatives to Damascus to engage with the new Syrian leadership following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad. Qatar's decision follows Turkey, which had previously announced the reopening of its embassy in the Syrian capital.
