Qatar's New Chapter in Syria: A Diplomatic Reintroduction
Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani visited Damascus, marking the first state head's visit since Assad's ousting. The trip underlined Qatar's support for Syrian post-war reconstruction and infrastructure aid, amid thawing relations with Arab and Western states following Syria's leadership change.

In a groundbreaking diplomatic move, Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani visited Damascus, becoming the first head of state to do so since Bashar al-Assad's ouster on December 8.
Received by transitional President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the Emir led a senior delegation, and stressed the importance of forming an inclusive government.
The visit symbolizes Qatar's commitment to the Syrian people, with discussions focusing on post-war reconstruction and increased aid, potentially revamping Qatar-Syria relations after a prolonged diplomatic hiatus.
