Guterres to become first serving UN chief to visit Syria in over a decade
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres travels to Syria on Saturday, becoming the first serving UN chief to visit since a nearly 14-year war began that killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. He is expected to address Syria's new Parliament on July 27 and visit a UN peacekeeping force. The trip follows the 2024 ouster of Bashar al-Assad and a transitional government.
