The recent power shift in Damascus “will not change the nature” of Russian-Syrian relations, Deputy FM Mikhail Bogdanov has said
Moscow and Damascus intend to maintain their historically stable and mutually beneficial relationship, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov has said following the first Russian diplomatic visit to Syria since its leadership change.
Bogdanov led the Russian delegation in talks with the head of the Syrian administration, Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, on Tuesday. The meeting was also attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, Health Minister Maher al-Sharaa, and representatives from several Russian government agencies.
Al-Sharaa, known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani, became Syria’s de facto leader last month after his Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) jihadist group launched a surprise attack on Damascus, forcing former President Bashar Assad to flee the country.
