Syria’s Sharaa to address UN General Assembly next month, first Syrian leader to do so since 1967

Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, will speak at the United Nations General Assembly next month, a Syrian foreign ministry official tells AFP.

Sharaa “will take part in the United Nations General Assembly in New York where he will deliver a speech,” the official says, requesting anonymity as they were not authorized to brief the media.

The official adds that he will be the first Syrian president to address the assembly since 1967.
