Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani is set to visit Pakistan today at the invitation of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, according to the Foreign Office. This visit comes as Syria's transitional leadership seeks to strengthen regional and international relations following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad in 2024.
Shaibani and his delegation will be in Pakistan from August 19-20. During the visit, both nations will hold comprehensive discussions on bilateral relations, explore opportunities for further cooperation, and exchange perspectives on current regional and global events. This marks the first time a Syrian foreign minister has visited Pakistan since Walid al-Mouallem's trip in May 2007, and the first since the change of government in Damascus.
The Foreign Office has also recently condemned an "unprovoked" Israeli attack on a Syrian airbase, calling such actions a violation of international law and a threat to regional stability. Pakistan has expressed its solidarity with Syria's people and reiterated its support for the country's sovereignty and stability.
