Ahmed al-Sharaa met with several foreign, Arab delegations in Damascus
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi embarked on an unscheduled visit to Damascus on Monday for talks with the leader of Syria's new administration, Ahmed al-Sharaa.
A Foreign Ministry statement said Safadi “is currently holding extensive talks” with al-Sharaa, without giving further details.
In the past few days, al-Sharaa met with several foreign and Arab delegations in Damascus, including from the US and Saudi Arabia.
Bashar Assad, Syria's leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec. 8, ending the Baath Party regime which had been in power since 1963.
The takeover came after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters captured key cities in a lightning offensive that lasted less than two weeks.
