The UK is re-establishing diplomatic relations with Syria, marked by Foreign Secretary David Lammy's visit to Damascus. Lammy met with interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, pledging support for the new Syrian government. This move signals a shift in British foreign policy towards Syria, potentially opening avenues for renewed cooperation and dialogue on various issues, including humanitarian aid and regional stability. The extent and nature of this support remain to be seen, but the visit represents a significant step towards normalizing relations after a period of strained ties.
