UN Security Council delegation visits Syria for first time since 1945
The 15-member UN Security Council delegation aims to rebuild trust and discuss Syria's transition, justice, reconciliation, and counterterrorism in its first visit since 1945.
- On Thursday, a United Nations Security Council delegation arrived in Syria for its first-ever trip, entering via the Jdeidet Yabous border crossing to meet Syrian officials and interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
- After nearly 14 years of civil war, the United Nations urged an inclusive transition that shaped the Security Council’s recent lifting of sanctions on interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the delegation’s mandate.
- Visiting damaged areas, the delegation toured Jobar, Damascus and Damascus's Old City, meeting communities from the coast and southern Sweida province and the commission for missing persons.
- We reiterated our clear support for sovereignty, unity, independence and territorial integrity of Syria, Slovenian UN ambassador Samuel Zbogar said, adding the international community stands ready to help Syrians.
- Amid regional tensions, Zbogar said the trip comes "at a crucial time" as talks on a security agreement between Israel and Syria have made little progress in recent weeks, while Israeli raids last week killed 13 people in Beit Jinn.
