Weezha Roz-Ahmed al-Shara, the new leader of Syria, warmly welcomed the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh “Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani,” and his accompanying delegation at Damascus International Airport.
The Qatari Emir, on Thursday, arrived in Damascus, the capital of Syria, at the head of a high-level state delegation and was warmly received by senior officials from Syria.
The reception included President of the Government Mr. “Mohammad Bashir,” Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Mr. “Asaad al-Shibani,” Minister of Defense, General Engineer “Marhef Abu Qusra,” and several other Syrian officials.
In this meeting, Ahmed al-Shara, the new President of Syria, expressed his gratitude to the Qatari Emir, Sheikh “Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani,” for his respectful visit and stated that efforts are being made today to establish a strategic partnership that would benefit both the Syrian and Qatari peoples.
Background of Syria-Qatar Relations
Syria and Qatar have a complex diplomatic relationship, influenced by regional political developments.
Over the past decades, the relationship between the two countries has been significantly affected by political crises and the internal conflicts in Syria.
Qatar was known for supporting the Syrian opposition during the early years of Syria’s civil war.
However, over time and with changes in regional policies, this relationship may have shifted toward improvement.
Meetings like this one between Syrian and Qatari officials reflect a desire to rebuild relations and foster new cooperation in various fields, including economic, security, and political matters.
Given Qatar’s important role in regional policies and its relations with Western countries, it could act as a bridge for Syria to reconnect with other regional and global powers.
At the same time, experts suggest that if this visit is based on new agreements, it may create grounds for new cooperation, such as economic support, Syria’s reconstruction projects, and collaboration in energy and infrastructure.
During this visit, topics such as the Syrian crisis, regional security, economic interactions, and the status of Syrian refugees who have fled to various countries are likely to have been discussed.
Currently, Syria, due to the ongoing war and severe economic crises, needs international aid and reconstruction.
Countries like Qatar, which have provided substantial humanitarian and financial assistance, will play an important role in this process.
