Syrian President Makes First Official Visit to Kuwait

Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa arrived in Kuwait for his first official visit, initiating a renewed phase of bilateral engagement after years of strained ties due to the Syrian conflict. Al-Sharaa met with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to discuss strengthening cooperation across multiple sectors. Talks highlighted the importance of Syria’s security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, as well as support for unified Arab initiatives. This visit comes amid a recent thaw in relations, including Kuwait’s provision of humanitarian aid to Syria and increased diplomatic exchanges. The event is part of a wider regional trend of Syria's reintegration, following Al-Sharaa’s recent visits to Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE. The summary no longer references the suspension of Western sanctions or the Caesar Act.
