Original title: the United States opposes the normalization of relations with the Syrian government, but the relations between ASEAN and Syria are picking up
On October 13 local time, US Secretary of state Abraham Lincoln expressed opposition to the normalization of relations with Syria. The reason why Bush Lincoln made this statement is because some Middle East countries are improving their relations with Syria recently.
According to ABC News on the 14th, when meeting with the foreign ministers of Israel and the United Arab Emirates on the 13th, US Secretary of state Abraham Lincoln said that the United States opposes the normalization of relations with the Syrian government. He said that only when there is progress in the political settlement process of the Syrian issue will the United States support efforts to improve relations with the Syrian government or lift sanctions.
The reason why Bush Lincoln made these remarks is that in recent years, the attitude of some US allies in the Middle East towards Syria has changed. At present, some Arab countries, including Jordan, are trying to help Syria "get out of trouble" by restoring economic and diplomatic relations.
On October 3, the Royal Palace of Jordan issued a statement saying that King Abdullah II of Jordan spoke with Syrian President Bashar, the first time since the outbreak of civil strife in Syria in 2011. In September this year, the Syrian defense minister also visited Jordan and met with Jordanian military officers. In late September, Jordan also fully reopened its main border crossing with Syria in order to revitalize its economy.
On October 10, the Ministry of economy of the United Arab Emirates also said that it had reached an agreement with Syria on strengthening economic cooperation and exploring new areas in the next stage.
