Brussels, 8 December 2024 (dpa/MIA) – The European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has welcomed the toppling of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.

"The end of Assad's dictatorship is a positive and long-awaited development. It also shows the weakness of Assad's backers, Russia and Iran," Kallas posted on X.

"Our priority is to ensure security in the region. I will work with all the constructive partners, in Syria and in the region," she added.
