On Thursday, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani arrived in Islamabad for an official visit at the invitation of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. The two discussed ways to deepen bilateral cooperation and had a "warm and constructive" meeting, reaffirming the strong bond between Pakistan and Syria.
The visit is significant as it marks the first by a Syrian foreign minister since the change of leadership in Damascus following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in 2024. It also comes after Pakistan strongly condemned Israel's "unprovoked" attack on a Syrian airbase in northwest Syria, criticising it as a violation of international law and a threat to regional peace and stability.
