Syria's interim President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, travelled to the United Arab Emirates on Sunday for his first visit since Bashar al-Assad's overthrow, state media said.
In mid-January, Sharaa spoke by phone with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Emirati president, about ways to reinforce ties and "ensure the stability and development of the region," Syria's state news agency SANA said at the time.
On its Telegram channel, SANA on Sunday said Sharaa was travelling with Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani to the Gulf country to hold talks on "numerous common issues".
Shaibani visited Abu Dhabi in January.
After more than 13 years of conflict, Syria's new rulers are seeking international support for reconstruction and reviving the sanctions-hit economy.
