A Syrian official and two diplomats told Reuters on Wednesday that interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara is expected to attend an annual international donor summit for Syria, scheduled to take place in Brussels on March 17. However, a European Union spokesperson commented on the report, saying: "No invitation has been sent to al-Shara to attend the donor summit in Brussels."
If this visit takes place, it would be al-Shara's first to Europe since taking office as president following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad last December. The aim of the conference, organized by the European Union, is to "mobilize international support for a peaceful and inclusive transition."
