MOSCOW, January 28. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold talks on Wednesday with Syrian interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who will be on a working visit to Russia.
As the Kremlin press service said earlier, the two leaders "plan to discuss the state and prospects of bilateral relations in various areas, as well as the current situation in the Middle East."
It will be al-Sharaa’s second visit to Moscow in his current status. His previous visit to the Russian capital for talks with Putin took place slightly more than three months ago, in mid-October.
The meeting will be held the day before the Syrian politician, who assumed the post on January 29, 2025, marks his first year in office.
During al-Sharaa’s previous visit, Putin said that Moscow was always guided by the Syrian people’s interests in relations with Damascus. In turn, the Syrian leader said he was willing "to restart the entire complex of relations" between Moscow and Damascus.
