Syrian Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa reaffirmed the importance of maintaining and strengthening ties with Russia, emphasizing the historic relationship established since 1946. Speaking during a press conference today, al-Sharaa stated that these relations must be preserved within a strategic framework, highlighting Russia"s role as a global power.
Al-Sharaa"s remarks come amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region, where Syria has faced significant challenges following years of civil conflict. He underscored the necessity of sustaining partnerships that have historically supported Syria"s sovereignty and stability, particularly in the face of external pressures.
Since the onset of the Syrian civil war, Russia has been a key ally, providing military support to the Assad regime and influencing diplomatic efforts related to the conflict. This week, al-Sharaa"s statement follows recent developments regarding Syria"s attempts to restore its 1974 borders in talks with Israel, which have been part of a broader strategy to reclaim lost territory and assert national interests.
As the situation evolves, the Syrian interim leadership is likely to continue advocating for enhanced cooperation with Russia, aiming to solidify a united front against adversarial forces. The implications of this partnership could significantly shape the future geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
