Tunisia's President Kais Saied on Thursday appointed a new ambassador to Syria, the Tunisian presidency said in a statement.

Tunisia cut off diplomatic relations with Syria nearly a decade ago to protest Bashar Assad's crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations in 2011 that developed into civil war in which hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed and millions sent fleeing.
