Qatar reopened its embassy in Damascus on Saturday, 13 years after it was shut early in Syria's civil conflict, as foreign governments seek to establish ties with the country's new rulers.
An AFP journalist saw Qatar's flag raised over the mission, making it the second country, after Türkiye, to officially reopen its embassy since opposition forces drove president Bashar al-Assad from power earlier this month.
