A delegation of the Belarusian National Assembly will pay an official visit to Syria between January 26 and 29.

The delegation will be led by Uladzimir Andreychanka, head of the House of Representatives. It will also include Viktar Huminski, head of the lower chamber’s committee on national security, and Kanstantsin Suman and Alyaksadnr Shakutsin, members of the Council of the Republic’s commission on foreign affairs and national security.

The program of the visit features meetings with top officials, including Mahmoud al-Abrash, chairman of the Syrian People’s Assembly, and talks with businesspeople.
