Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani said on Friday that he will visit European countries in the coming period.
He spoke during a press conference with his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani in Damascus.
Tajani said he was traveling to Syria on Friday to encourage the country's transition following the ouster of President Bashar Assad, and said Europe should review its sanctions on Damascus now that the political situation has changed.
“It’s an issue that should be discussed because Assad isn’t there anymore, it’s a new situation, and I think that the encouraging signals that are arriving should be further encouraged,” he said.
