**Sharaa to Become First Syrian Leader to Attend UN Meetings Since 1967**

In a historic development, Sharaa is set to become the first Syrian leader to attend United Nations meetings since 1967. This marks a significant moment in Syrian diplomacy and international relations.

Sharaa, who previously faced considerable controversy, achieved a major victory in May when he received recognition from U.S. President Donald Trump during a meeting in Riyadh. This recognition has further elevated his profile on the global stage.
