Emmanuel Macron preparing for Syria visit to meet President Ahmad al-Sharaa this summer
As France deepens its outreach to Syria's new leadership, Emmanuel Macron is preparing for what could become a landmark visit to Damascus.
Annahar has learned from a high-ranking French source that the French presidency is preparing for a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron to Syria this summer, during which he is expected to meet Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa.
According to the source, the visit reflects France's desire to support the new Syrian leadership and strengthen political engagement with Damascus, following Macron becoming the first European president to receive al-Sharaa in Paris after he assumed the presidency.

The visit, if it takes place, would mark another step in France's growing openness toward Syria and the continued development of relations between the two countries.
