Putin praises Syrian election during Sharaa's Moscow visit
AA
Syrian President Ahmed Shara (L) meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin (R) in Moscow, Russia, on October 15, 2025.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has described Syria's recent parliamentary election as successful during Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa's inaugural official visit to Moscow. Putin emphasized Russia's friendly relations with Syria and pledged to implement initiatives discussed during recent bilateral meetings.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has commended Syria's recent parliamentary election as a significant achievement during his meeting with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Moscow. The Russian leader characterized the electoral process as contributing to societal consolidation and enhancing political cooperation within Syria despite the country's ongoing challenges.

Election assessment and bilateral relations

During Wednesday's meeting, Putin stated that Syria's parliamentary election would "strengthen ties and interaction between all political forces in Syria." He described the electoral process as a "great success" that would facilitate societal consolidation. The Russian president emphasized the consistently friendly nature of Moscow-Damascus relations, noting that Russia has always prioritized Syrian people's interests in its foreign policy approach toward the Middle Eastern nation.

Diplomatic context and visit significance

President Sharaa's Moscow visit represents his first official trip to Russia since assuming office in December 2024 following the political transition from the previous administration. The Kremlin granted asylum to former leader Bashar al-Assad and his family immediately after his departure from Syria. The current meeting continues diplomatic engagement between the two nations, building on the work of the bilateral intergovernmental commission that has operated since 1993 and recently resumed its activities.

Cooperation initiatives and future engagement

Putin expressed appreciation for Syria's hospitality during Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak's recent visit to Damascus, noting that the delegation outlined "many interesting and useful initiatives" for bilateral cooperation. The Russian president committed to implementing these proposals and maintaining regular consultations through diplomatic channels. The discussions reflect ongoing efforts to strengthen the strategic partnership between Moscow and Damascus amid regional developments and Syria's political transition process.
