Germany on Thursday reopened its embassy in Damascus, more than three months after the ouster of former President Bashar al-Assad.
Foreign minister Annalena Baerbock formally opened the embassy during a visit to the Syrian capital.
The embassy was shut down after the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2012.
Mr Al-Assad ruled Syria for over two decades. Following a lightning offensive led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham late last year, he fled to Russia.
Since then, the new transitional government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, has been working to restore security and revive the economy.
Ms Baerbock is set to meet Mr al-Sharaa during her visit.
