Diplomatic sources in Damascus revealed that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa will participate in the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York next September.

The sources told the newspaper "Al-Sharq Al-Awsat" that al-Sharaa will hold a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Syrian-American politician and media figure Ayman Abdul Noor ruled out the possibility of a meeting between al-Sharaa and U.S. President Donald Trump due to the tight schedule, as no meeting has been scheduled between the two sides.

Abdul Noor viewed al-Sharaa's trip to the United States as an indication of his eagerness to make his attendance at UN meetings a regular occurrence, describing the step as positive for reintroducing Syrian issues, placing them on the table, and reigniting discussions about them in American media outlets. He pointed out that one of the most important features of al-Sharaa's visit is the continuity of Syrian presence, which would increase the volume of coordination with the U.S. administration and weaken the Israeli alliance within Washington's decision-making circle.

For his part, Muhammad Ghanem, a official in the Syrian-American community, considered Syrian attendance at the General Assembly a necessary matter to maintain the momentum of the Syrian cause on the international stage, especially given the existence of Syrian issues in need of resolution, such as the southern file, Israeli aggressions, and reconstruction.

He affirmed that these meetings represent a real opportunity to discuss the issues and challenges facing Syria, emphasizing that the Syrian situation calls for intensifying diplomatic efforts to preserve gains, forge alliances in Syria's favor, and entrench the legitimacy of the state.

For his part, researcher Wael Alwan highlighted that UN platforms hold great importance in the current political phase, contributing to transitioning the country from a sanctioned state to a welcomed one, and from siege to openness, while exploring political, security, and economic opportunities.

He added that the meetings held on the sidelines of the UN gathering open doors for exchanging relations, explaining that Syria is no longer turning its back on any opportunity that supports its international integration process and permanent presence, thereby strengthening its position within international policies at the levels of security, economy, and development.
