Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa is expected to address the U.N. General Assembly in New York in September, a Syrian official told Reuters on Monday.
Sharaa, who once pledged allegiance to al Qaeda before severing ties in 2016, met with U.S President Donald Trump in Saudi Arabia in May in a bid to have sanctions on Syria lifted.
