💨 Abstract

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani is set to attend the U.N. in New York and raise Syria's new flag, marking the first high-ranking public appearance of a Syrian government official in the U.S. since the fall of Bashar Assad. The new authorities in Damascus are courting Washington to lift harsh sanctions imposed after Assad's crackdown in 2011.
