Abdul Hakeem Al Nuaimi, charge d’affaires of the UAE Embassy in Damascus, personally delivered the invitation to Syrian President Bashar Al Assad on behalf of President Sheikh Mohamed.
The announcement was shared on Monday through the official Twitter page of the UAE Embassy in Damascus.
The COP28 climate summit, set to take place from November 30 to December 12, is expected to attract tens of thousands of attendees in Dubai. The event will gather approximately 70,000 participants, including heads of state, government officials, leaders from various global industries, representatives from the private sector, and climate experts.
