Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa with Macron: I want to salute President Macron for his courage. As soon as news of the explosions reached him, he immediately declared that the visit would continue and that its program would go ahead as planned. Certainly, there are many people who are harmed by Syria's success today. There are those who wanted this country to remain in ruin and destruction, and they are troubled by what Syria is achieving. The investigations are currently underway, and I believe that, very soon, those responsible for this heinous criminal act will be arrested. This attack only increases the determination and resolve of the Syrian state—and of everyone who supports it—to continue moving forward with rebuilding Syria.
