Under Assad, Syria was suspended from the Arab League in 2011 due to its violent crackdown on protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, since the formation of a transitional government, Arab states have increasingly moved toward normalizing relations with Damascus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Arab League has already confirmed Syria\u2019s participation in the upcoming emergency summit in Egypt later this month and the regular annual summit in Baghdad this April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regional Support for Syria\u2019s New Leadership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraq\u2019s move aligns with the broader trend of Arab nations engaging with the new Syrian administration. In recent months, countries like Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia have resumed diplomatic outreach to Syria\u2019s transitional government, focusing on stabilization efforts and reconstruction initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the first major Arab League summit since Syria\u2019s leadership transition, the Baghdad gathering is expected to address key regional security and economic challenges, including the Syrian reconstruction process, counterterrorism cooperation, and energy partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Syria\u2019s participation will mark a turning point in its reintegration into the Arab world, following more than a decade of diplomatic isolation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kardo Roj&nbsp; DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Iraq has announced plans to extend an official invitation to Syrian Transitional President Ahmed al-Shar\u2019a to attend the upcoming Arab League Summit, set to take place in Baghdad in April.
