Syria is to reopen its diplomatic mission in Tunisia after more than a decade.
The decision follows an announcement by Tunisia’s President Kais Saied that his country would reopen its embassy in Damascus.
Syria’s relations with Arab states have recently improved. President Bashar al-Assad has visited both the United Arab Emirates and Oman and has held talks with Saudi Arabia.
Later this week nine Arab countries are due to meet in Riyadh to discuss moves to end Damascus’s isolation since the start of Syria’s long civil war.
