Why it matters
The talks between the UN and President Ahmad al-Sharaa focused on strengthening cooperation between Syria and UNHCR. This cooperation aims to support the voluntary and safe return of refugees and advance early recovery projects. Salih emphasized that the scale of recovery is too large for Syria to accomplish alone.
