Syria on Sunday said it was expecting a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron, the first by a Western European head of state since the 2024 toppling of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad.
State news agency SANA, citing the Syrian presidency's media office, said "Macron is expected to visit Syria to discuss ways of strengthening bilateral relations and issues of common interest", without specifying a date for the visit.
