President Bashar al-Assad of Syria traveled to the United Arab Emirates on Sunday for an official visit accompanied by his wife, a sign of the growing momentum with which he is returning to the international stage after a decade-long isolation.Viewed as a pariah in many parts of the world for overseeing the bombing and torturing of his people when a 2011 uprising devolved into a civil war, Mr. al-Assad was welcomed in Abu Dhabi, the Emirati capital, on Sunday with a 21-gun salute, according to a report published by the official Emirates News Agency.
