Syria and Tunisia have agreed to resume normal diplomatic relations, Syrian state media reported on Wednesday. The move marks another diplomatic victory for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad amid Syria's ongoing civil war.
Per the deal, Tunisian President Kais Saied will appoint a new ambassador to Syria. For its part, Syria will reopen its embassy in Tunis and appoint an ambassador of its own, Syria’s official SANA news outlet reported.
