Macron’s visit to Damascus offers hope for city’s residents

LONDON: The people of Damascus are hoping a visit to the city by French President Emmanuel Macron will help to boost ties between the Syrian Arab Republic and France. Macron’s visit is the first by a Western European head of state since the fall of Bashar Assad at the end of 2024. Faisal Azouz, a teacher, told French news agency AFP that he hoped the visit, which began on Monday, would open the door to a new era in Syria-France relations, particularly in the economic sphere. “France is an important European country. So we hope this visit will open new horizons for relations,” he said.
