UN Secretary-General visits Syria, 1st visit by UN chief in 17 yrs

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited Syria, marking the first visit by a serving UN chief to the country in 17 years. "No country emerges from a very severe conflict and rebuilds itself on its own. We must help Syria in its determination and resolve to do so," Guterres said. His visit came weeks after French President Emmanuel Macron's visit.
