The head of the world’s chemical weapons watchdog will meet Syria’s new leader Saturday, in a first official visit since the ouster of Bashar al-Assad, who was repeatedly accused of using such weapons during Syria‘s 13-year civil war.
“We will broadcast the President of the Syrian Arab Republic Ahmad al-Sharaa and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Asaad Al-Shaibani receiving a delegation from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)”, an official Syrian Telegram channel said in a statement.
