Syria's foreign minister Asaad al-Shibani will join an annual EU conference on Syria in Brussels on Monday, the first to be held since the transitional government in Damascus was sworn in following the toppling of the al-Assad regime in December.
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, top diplomat Kaja Kallas, and EU foreign ministers are expected to join the talks, which will focus on Syria’s political transition, economic recovery and reconstruction after 14 years of civil war.
