French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to visit Syria, according to statements from Syrian officials. Syria’s presidential media directorate says Macron will discuss ways to strengthen bilateral relations and address issues of mutual interest. The statement adds that Macron will be accompanied by a delegation of investors and representatives from French companies and will hold a roundtable session with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Syrian delegations.

The Syrian announcement does not provide a specific date for the visit. Another report also characterizes the trip as expected, reiterating that the discussions will focus on strengthening ties and addressing areas of common interest. Both accounts present the visit as centered on dialogue between the two sides and include the participation of French business representatives, but neither source details any additional agenda items or offers further specifics on timing or outcomes.
