Syria FM says Macron's visit 'pivotal point' in relations

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said Tuesday that French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Damascus this week marks a turning point in ties between the countries.

"The historic visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Damascus marked a pivotal point in the course of Syrian-French relations, establishing a new phase of partnership based on mutual respect and shared interests," Shaibani said in a post on X, after several memoranda of understanding were signed between the two sides.
