Germany's foreign minister heads to Damascus for one-day trip

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is scheduled to make a brief visit to Damascus, marking the first such trip by a German foreign minister since the Syrian conflict began in 2011. This one-day visit, occurring on a Saturday, aims to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Syria, exacerbated by a recent earthquake. Baerbock's agenda includes discussions on the political process in Syria, the enforcement of sanctions, and the potential for increased humanitarian aid. Her visit underscores Germany's commitment to finding a political solution to the Syrian crisis, despite the complexities involved in dealing with the Assad regime, which remains under international sanctions. The trip also reflects Germany's broader Middle Eastern policy, focusing on human rights, democracy, and stability in the region.
