On September 25, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Syrian Arab Republic Asaad al-Shaibani in New York, on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.
The discussion focused on practical steps to develop many-faceted bilateral cooperation, building on the outcomes of recent high-level official delegation exchanges. The ministers also reviewed the schedule of forthcoming engagements, including in the context of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa's participation in the inaugural Russian-Arab Summit, to be held in Moscow in October 2025.
The Russian side reaffirmed its firm commitment to supporting Syria's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. It was stressed that internal challenges should be resolved by the Syrians themselves - without harmful external interference - through an inclusive national dialogue that reflects the interests of all communities within Syria's multi-religious society. The parties underscored the importance of consolidating international efforts to create favourable conditions for lasting stabilisation in the Syrian Arab Republic and to support its post-conflict recovery.
