Speaking to Syria\u2019s state-run news agency, SANA, Al-Shaibani stated: &#8220;Syria seeks to establish a sound and respectful relationship with Russia, grounded in cooperation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added that the country is navigating a &#8220;challenging phase&#8221; and sees &#8220;great opportunities&#8221; ahead; opportunities Syria hopes to pursue with Russia\u2019s support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al-Shaibani met with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, to discuss key bilateral and regional issues. Lavrov voiced Russia\u2019s continued support for the Syrian people and expressed anticipation for a possible visit by Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa to Moscow later this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This visit marks the highest-level contact between Syria and Russia since the fall of the Assad regime late last year. With the traditional Moscow-Damascus alliance fractured, the trip raises crucial questions: Is Russia preparing to reassert itself as a dominant player in Syria? Could this visit signal a shift in Syria\u2019s regional and international alignment?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Russia\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TASS<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> news agency, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin noted that talks would focus on internal Syrian stabilization, equitable national representation, and the protection of all communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Military coordination was also on the table, especially the status of Russia\u2019s military bases in Syria. There is speculation that some of these facilities may be repurposed as hubs for humanitarian aid distribution amid Syria\u2019s dire economic and humanitarian crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a related development, President Vladimir Putin recently emphasized the importance of minority rights in Syria during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling such respect a &#8220;fundamental condition for national stability.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/29\/07\/2025\/russia-syria\/#\">Russia\u2019s Role in Syria: Symbolic Support, Strategic Coordination with Israel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Strategic Goals and Political Undertones of the Visit<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Mustafa Khaled Al-Mohammed, a political advisor with close ties to the Kremlin, confirmed to <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the visit was scheduled just five days prior and is being viewed optimistically by Russian officials. According to him, Al-Shaibani\u2019s trip is a precursor to a likely official visit by President Ahmad Al-Shara to Moscow before the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al-Mohammed explained that the agenda includes economic agreements and discussions about the future of Russia\u2019s military footprint in northeastern Syria, particularly in the Qamishli region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Reports indicate that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been in contact with Russian officials. This could lead to a handover of former coalition positions to Russia, setting the stage for dismantling the SDF and reestablishing military balance in the area,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Syria\u2019s Foreign Policy Realignment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The visit also reflects shifts in Syria\u2019s foreign policy. According to Al-Mohammed, President Al-Sharaa is frustrated with mounting U.S. pressure, particularly over the past six months.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes alleged U.S. involvement in forcing a cabinet reshuffle that replaced three key ministers: Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani, Defense Minister Marhaf Abu Qasra, and Interior Minister Anas Al-Khattab.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Given the lack of clear commitment from Washington,&#8221; Al-Mohammed said, &#8220;Damascus is turning more confidently to Moscow, a consistent ally throughout the last nine years.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should the U.S. Caesar Act sanctions be extended, Syria is expected to double down on economic cooperation with Russia and the broader Eastern bloc, including China. With little hope for Western military or financial support, Syria\u2019s options appear limited. Turkey remains an uncertain alternative, often acting within U.S.-approved boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Syria\u2019s primary bet is now on Moscow and Beijing. President Al-Sharaa is actively seeking advanced Russian weapons systems to modernize the Syrian military,&#8221; added Al-Mohammed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/30\/05\/2025\/russia-confirms-talks-with-syrian-transitional-government\/#\">Russia Confirms Talks with Syrian Transitional Government<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>A New Diplomatic Chapter<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Political analyst and academic Dr. Orabi Abdelhai told <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that Al-Shaibani\u2019s visit represents a significant diplomatic recalibration:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This is an effort by Damascus to redefine its relationship with Russia, beyond the legacy of former President Bashar al-Assad. The message is one of Syrian independence and negotiation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Dr. Abdelhai, Moscow is eager to maintain its strategic foothold in Syria despite the political exit of Assad. Russia is especially focused on strengthening its military presence in Hmeimim and Tartus, while offering financial packages and investment opportunities in energy, infrastructure, and port development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The visit also coincides with ongoing negotiations over long-term military agreements on Syrian soil. These could include expanded Russian privileges in key naval and air bases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analysts believe the visit signals a coordinated Syrian Russian effort to reset bilateral relations, while capitalizing on shifting global dynamics and regional instability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Moscow deepens its diplomatic engagement with Damascus, the future of Russian influence in Syria may be taking a new and more institutionalized form, one with economic incentives, military guarantees, and a restructured political partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani arrived in Moscow on Thursday in a significant diplomatic visit that may signal a renewed Russian role in Syrian affairs.
