In a significant move to mend regional ties, Qatar announced it will reopen its embassy in Syria on Tuesday. This step marks the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two nations after a decade-long hiatus.
Khalifa Abdullah Al Mahmoud Al Sharif has been appointed as the charge d’affaires to lead the Qatari mission in Damascus. The decision reflects a broader effort among Arab states to reengage with Syria following years of conflict that isolated the country internationally.
Qatar had severed diplomatic ties with Syria in 2012 amid the Syrian civil war. The reopening of the embassy signifies a shift towards supporting stability and reconstruction efforts in the region.
This move is expected to enhance cooperation on economic, political, and humanitarian levels, offering new opportunities for collaboration between the two countries.
