German diplomats have held talks in Damascus with Syria’s new transitional government, led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Germany is the latest country seeking to re-establish ties with Syria following the fall of the Bashar Assad regime. "The talks focused on the political transition process and our expectations regarding the protection of minorities and women’s rights in order to support peaceful development in Syria," the German Foreign Office said in Berlin. As well as Tuesday’s talks, the delegation also carried out an "initial inspection of the German Embassy building in Damascus," according to the foreign ministry statement.
