Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the official body representing Syria in international relations. It recently issued strong condemnations of Israeli military actions in southern Syria, labeling them as a "flagrant violation of Syria's sovereignty" and a breach of international law, which has led to civilian displacement. Concurrently, the Ministry announced a significant agreement with Moscow regarding the future of Russian military bases in Syria. Under this deal, the Hmeimim airbase and Tartus naval base will be transformed into joint training and capacity-building centers. This development underscores Syria's ongoing engagement with its key ally, Russia, particularly in the context of its military presence and strategic cooperation within the country, following years of conflict.
