Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa will take part on Thursday in the COP30 climate summit in Belem, Brazil, from Nov. 6 to 21, the presidency said on Wednesday.

The presidency’s media office said Sharaa will pay an official visit to Brazil on Nov. 6–7 to join the summit, which brings together dozens of world leaders.

This will be the first time a Syrian president attends a UN climate conference since the series began in 1995, the office said.

Following the summit, Sharaa is expected to travel to Washington to meet US President Donald Trump.
