Syria's al-Sharaa meets Russia's Putin in Moscow

SUMMARY

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa will visit Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin. This marks al-Sharaa's first official trip to Russia since his forces ousted the former regime in December. They will discuss "regional and international developments" and "ways to strengthen cooperation." Al-Sharaa plans to address the presence of Russian military bases in Syria and formally request the return of former leader Bashar al-Assad, who is in exile in Moscow.

Al-Sharaa recently expressed his vision for Syria's future, stating the country is "writing a new chapter in its story, titled peace, stability, and prosperity."
