In a bold diplomatic push, European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced Monday that the bloc’s top envoy to Syria is heading to Damascus to initiate talks with the country’s newly formed government. The move signals potential shifts in EU strategy as regional tensions simmer.
\"We’re focused on fostering dialogue,\" Kallas told reporters in Brussels ahead of an EU foreign ministers’ meeting. The diplomat’s mission—launched the same day—marks the first high-level engagement since Syria’s leadership reshuffle. While details remain sparse, analysts speculate this could pave the way for humanitarian cooperation or even economic ties.
With Syria’s decade-long conflict still unresolved, the EU’s outreach hints at evolving priorities. 🌏 Will this spark a new chapter in EU-Middle East relations? Stay tuned.
