Syrian FM To Visit Egypt For First Time Since 2011

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry announced yesterday, Syrian Foreign Minister, Faisal Mekdad, will hold talks with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry, today.

It is the first visit by a top Syrian diplomat to Egypt since the start of the Syrian civil war, about 12 years ago.

Strained relations between Syria and Arab countries have started to ease after the deadly earthquakes jolted large swathes of areas along the Turkish-Syrian border on Feb 6, which killed tens of thousands of people in the two countries.

On Feb 27, Shoukry met Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, in Damascus, to express Egypt’s support for Syria in dealing with the repercussions of the earthquakes and its willingness to strengthen bilateral relations.
