The Russian delegation came on a visit to the capital of Syria – the city of Damascus. This was announced by the Interfax on Tuesday, January 28th.
It is indicated that the delegation included the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Mikhail Bogdanov and a special representative of the Russian president in Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev. The purpose of their journey is not specified.
“This was the first visit of Russian officials to Damascus after last December, Bashar Assad left the Syrian presidency and left the country,” the report said.
As you know, in early December 2024, the Syrian rebel forces successfully attacked the largest city in Aleppo, after which other regions quickly controlled. On December 8, rebels in Damascus announced that the capital “free” from Assad, who fled to Russia.
Currently, two Russian military bases remain in Syria, but their further fate is unknown. Meanwhile, the Russians were partially exporting the weapons.
Syria’s new authorities also canceled the investment agreement between the Russian company StroyTransgaz and the Port of Tartus.
