President Bashar al-Assad accepts the credentials of Muhammad Jalalovich as an Ambassador of Abkhazia to Syria
Bashar al-Assad, the president of Syria, had a busy day in Damascus as he received the credentials of ambassadors from Abkhazia and Mauritania.
Abkhazia, a self-proclaimed independent state, is not widely recognized internationally and has only received recognition from a handful of countries, including Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Nauru.
The United Nations still considers Abkhazia as part of Georgia's internationally recognized borders.
Meanwhile, the situation in Syria has been complex, with significant influence from Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah.
As President al-Assad continues to navigate these international dynamics, his recent diplomatic engagements might raise some eyebrows.
Syria's Interior Ministry announced Saturday that its counter-terrorism directorate, in cooperation with the internal security command around Damascus, had thwarted a bomb plot targeting a religious figure near a Maronite church in the Bab Touma district of the capital, and has linked the cell to Hezbollah.
Ukraine and Syria pledged greater security cooperation in talks on Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said as Kyiv seeks to promote its military expertise across the region following the outbreak of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
The United Arab Emirates on Saturday condemned what it described as "riots, acts of vandalism, and assaults" outside its diplomatic mission and the residence of its head of mission in Damascus.
