Macron Visits Syria for Peace | Baltimore News

French President Emmanuel Macron just became the first Western leader to visit Syria since Assad’s ouster in 2024, setting the stage for a historic diplomatic push as he heads to a NATO summit in Turkey where Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is also expected to attend. Macron’s mission: to meet Syrian officials and a business delegation to discuss security, investment, and France’s unwavering support for a sovereign, peaceful Syria — a vision echoing the Arab Spring’s hopes. Despite Syria’s lingering devastation and stalled recovery, Macron’s visit signals a bold new chapter, even as he navigates past controversies surrounding al-Sharaa’s ties to militants. With sanctions lifted and France leading the charge, the message is clear — the future of Syria is being shaped now, one step at a time.
