New Syrian leader hails country's 'return' in first UN speech since Assad's fall

In a historic moment for Syria, President Ahmed al-Sharaa addressed the UN General Assembly, marking the first time a Syrian leader has spoken at the UN in nearly sixty years. His speech celebrated Syria's return to the international community following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime last December. Al-Sharaa emphasized the importance of reclaiming Syria's rightful place on the global stage after enduring decades of dictatorship. This development is significant as it signals a new chapter for Syria, potentially opening doors for international cooperation and support.
