The Syrian news agency SANA reported that Ambassador Mohamed took the constitutional oath in the presence of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who expressed his wishes for the ambassador’s success in his mission.
This move follows Tunisia’s similar action of reopening its embassy in Damascus and appointing an ambassador to Syria earlier this year.
In April, Syria announced the reopening of its embassy in Tunisia, and this reciprocal appointment solidifies the efforts to restore diplomatic ties between the two nations. Tunisia’s decision to appoint an ambassador to Syria was initiated by Tunisian President Kais Saied, who sought to revive diplomatic relations.
President Saied had previously announced his intention to mend the diplomatic ties that were severed in 2012, stating that there was no justification for continuing the diplomatic isolation of Syria. Tunisia’s approach emphasized that it respected the choices made by the Syrian people and aimed to normalize relations based on mutual understanding.
Throughout this year, the foreign ministers of both Tunisia and Syria engaged in discussions to elevate diplomatic representation and foster better relations between the two countries. These recent developments signal progress in restoring diplomatic connections and may pave the way for increased collaboration in the future.
Diplomatic relations between Syria and Tunisia have taken a significant step towards normalization as Syria appointed Ambassador Mohamed Mohamed to represent the Syrian Arab Republic in Tunisia. The ambassador was sworn in on Monday, officially assuming his role.
