Syrian interim President Ahmed Al-Sharaa arrived in Qatar on Tuesday and met with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The leaders discussed strengthening bilateral ties and regional security. Prior to visiting Qatar, Al-Sharaa toured the UAE and met with President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. He has also visited Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan in recent weeks. Analysts see these visits as part of Syria’s renewed diplomatic efforts under its new leadership. Notably, Qatar’s Emir was the first world leader to visit Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad on January 30.
