Syria’s president to visit US in early November

Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa will visit the United States in early November to discuss the country’s reconstruction process, Reuters reports, citing a statement from the country’s Foreign Minister Asad al-Shaibani.

“There will be many issues on the table, starting with the lifting of sanctions and opening of a new chapter between the United States and Syria. We want to establish a very strong partnership between the two countries,” Shibani added.

U.S. Special Envoy Tom Barrack earlier announced the upcoming meeting, noting that the visit is likely to take place on Nov. 10.
