According to the spokesperson, the visit was canceled by the Syrian side. The German government wants more Syrians to return to their homeland.

Ahmed al-Sharaa is a former jihadist affiliated with al-Qaeda and the al-Nusra Front, both designated terrorist organizations by the US, EU and the UN. He led the forces of the Islamist movement Hayat Tahrir al-Sham when they overthrew Bashar al-Assad in late 2024.
