Khaberni - Representatives of the 15 member countries of the UN Security Council arrived in Syria, on Thursday, on a visit considered the first of its kind, where the delegation, upon their arrival in the capital Damascus, observed the extent of the destruction and vandalism that affected the Jobar neighborhood.
UN Security Council members are scheduled to meet with a number of Syrian officials, members of the Syrian civil society, and committees responsible for investigating the facts on the incidents in the coast areas and Sweida, in addition to meeting with Najat Rochdi, the Deputy Special Envoy of the United Nations to Syria.
An official source informed "SANA" that this visit comes amidst increasing international recognition of the sovereignty and unity of Syria and its ability to lead its own national recovery process, and it contributes to rebuilding the Syrian people's confidence in the Security Council after years of suffering from the "crimes of the Assad regime".
