This visit comes amid ongoing regional efforts to reintegrate Syria into the Arab diplomatic fold and foster long-term stability and development in the region.
In April, Al Sharaa had met UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi. The UAE President reiterated the UAE's firm position towards supporting Syria's unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Earlier in May, the United States lifted comprehensive economic sanctions on Syria, marking a dramatic policy shift following the end of Bashar al-Assad's regime and opening the door for new investment in the war-torn country.
