UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan exchanged Eid greeting with Syrian leader Ahmad Al-Sharaa, as the two countries build towards reestablishing ties after years of strain with the former administration.

The two leaders exchanged Eid greetings and expressed their hopes for continued development, security and stability.

The call between the leaders come as the two countries broker closer relations and passenger flights resumed between Dubai and Damascus. 

The UAE President hosted Sharaa in April, where he reaffirmed the UAE’s commitment to supporting the Syrian people as they "navigate the (five-year) transitional period and rebuild their country".

Syria’s new transitional government was officially sworn in on March 29, nearly four months after President Bashar al-Assad was ousted.
