United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited Damascus on Saturday to call for international support for Syria as the country navigates a complex transition following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. During his visit, the first by a UN chief since 2009, Guterres met with President Ahmed al-Saraa to discuss stability and humanitarian aid. Amid ongoing regional tensions and the return of millions of displaced citizens, the UN is emphasizing the need for inclusive governance and robust institutional development to stabilize the nation.
