Germany officially reopened its embassy in Syria after 13 years on March 20, with a small diplomatic team working in Damascus, Reuters news agency reported, marking the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries under the new government in Syria.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock traveled to Damascus and witnessed the restoration of operations at the embassy.

According to her, Germany wants to open a new political beginning between Europe and Syria, committed to supporting the people of the Middle Eastern country on the path towards a stable future, as well as promoting a comprehensive political transition that benefits all people.

However, due to the security situation in Syria, consular and visa matters will still be handled from the capital Beirut, Lebanon.

Along with other countries in the European Union (EU) such as France and Italy, Germany is trying to re-establish relations with the interim government in Syria.

Meanwhile, on the same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a message to Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa emphasizing Moscow's support for "efforts to stabilize the situation in the country as soon as possible, with the goal of protecting the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Damascus."

Russia is ready to cooperate with Syria in all areas, in the spirit of practical and concrete cooperation, to strengthen the traditional friendship between the two sides.

Previously, the Kremlin affirmed the importance of a unified and stable Syria to avoid affecting the entire Middle East region.

The message comes as Syria is pushing for a comprehensive and inclusive transition, with the support of the international community, to restore the economy and stabilize the country after 14 years of conflict and the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8 last year.

Russia still maintains its military bases in Syria, including the Hmeimim air base in the coastal city of Latakia and the naval base in Tartus. However, in recent times, these two coastal provinces have seen continuous clashes between Syrian security forces and supporters of the government of former President al-Assad.
