Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani will raise the new three-starred flag at the UN, indicating a significant shift in government following Assad's ousting. The new emblem symbolizes the current administration's efforts to court Washington for sanction relief amidst ongoing tensions. This visit follows a Syrian delegation's attendance at World Bank and IMF meetings, although the Trump administration has yet to recognize the new government or lift existing sanctions. Conversations have taken place regarding potential conditions for relief, with the fate of sanctions resting with presidential decisions.
Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani's attendance at the UN is significant as it marks the first high-ranking appearance for the Syrian government since the fall of Assad.
The new three-starred flag supersedes the two-starred emblem of Assad's era and symbolizes the shifting power dynamics in Syria's government.
