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.

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.
