French warship makes first-ever call at Syrian port as Paris and Damascus deepen military ties

Damascus, Syria · · Diplomacy · Developing · 2 sources

Brigadier General Mohammed al-Saud received the delegation in the presence of several officers. The French group is headed by Admiral Macara Ouk and includes several officers of the French National Navy. The visit marks the first time a French military warship has come to Syria.

Relations between France and Syria were largely suspended after the civil war began in 2011, and Syria's new authorities have sought to reopen contacts with foreign governments since late 2024.
