- Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is scheduled to travel to Moscow, Russia on Wednesday to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks on regional and international cooperation with a delegation including Syria's foreign, military and economic officials.
- Following last December's overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, Syria's new Islamist rulers have sought peaceful ties with Russia, which resumed engagement through Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov in January and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani in July.
- Discussions will cover the future of Moscow's bases in Syria, including Tartus naval base and Hmeimim air base, with al-Sharaa planning to request al-Assad's handover, Reuters and Syrian officials said.

- On the broader canvas, SANA reports the agenda includes economic investment while Moscow seeks to preserve ties amid Israeli strikes on Syrian territory and al-Sharaa's past as Abu Mohammed al-Julani.
