Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi called, on Monday, for giving the “new Syrian administration” an opportunity to “set its plans and rebuild the country,” following a meeting with Ahmed Al-Sharaa, the leader of the political administration of the Syrian opposition factions, in Damascus. 

Al-Safadi indicated that he discussed with Al-Sharaa “efforts to support the Syrian people, trade and aid affairs, electrical connectivity and building the capabilities of state institutions,” adding: “What we heard was clear... they want a transitional process. Mr. Al-Sharaa spoke about the National Conference for Finding mechanisms that take them towards drafting a new constitution and a new political system that preserves the rights of the entire Syrian people.”

Safadi spoke about the refugee file, saying that the Syrians in Jordan will return to their country “when conditions are created that allow them to return voluntarily and safely.”

The Syrian capital, Damascus, is witnessing intense diplomatic movements, as the visit of the Jordanian Foreign Minister coincided with the visit of a Qatari delegation headed by the Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed Al-Khulaifi, on board the first Qatar Airways plane to land at the Syrian capital’s airport since the fall of Bashar al-Assad two weeks ago.          

The Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Al-Khulaifi arrived at the head of a high-level official Qatari delegation to “hold a series of meetings with officials

The Syrians," he added, adding that the visit represents "an embodiment of Qatar's firm position in providing all support to the brothers in Syria."

 This diplomatic movement came in the wake of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s meeting with Al-Sharaa, in Damascus, on Sunday, with Turkish indications of the possibility of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visiting Syria soon, as the Charge d’Affaires of the Turkish Embassy in Syria, Burhan Koroglu, said on Sunday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit Damascus soon.

Koroglu told Turkish media: “After the visit of Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, our President Erdogan is also thinking about coming to Damascus.”

On Sunday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty discussed developments in the situation in Syria, in contacts with his counterparts in the Emirates, Jordan, Iraq, and Algeria.

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry stated in a statement that Abdel-Ati stressed during his phone calls “the necessity of uniting regional and international efforts to restore stability throughout the Syrian territories,” calling for mobilizing regional and international support for Syria during the transitional period.

The Egyptian Minister stressed the necessity of launching a comprehensive political process that includes all sects and components of the Syrian people, without external interference, to pave the way for the return of stability to Syria, and to put an end to the people’s suffering.

While many await the future and form of governance in the new Syria, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Sunday that Syria remains one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world.

He added on the “X” platform, “The United Nations and its partners are mobilizing efforts to assess people’s needs and adapt the response to new circumstances, which are still changing rapidly.”

He stressed that adequate funding for humanitarian and recovery responses is “critical.”
