Syrian state news agency SANA reported on Wednesday that Syria plans to reopen its embassy in Tunis in the near future.

Meanwhile, it is looking to appoint an ambassador to the country, SANA added.

This comes after Tunisian President Kais Saied announced on April 3rd the intention to upgrade diplomatic relations with Syria and appoint an ambassador to Damascus. In March, the position of ambassador of Tunisia to Syria was opened. 

SANA reported that Syrian Foreign Minister Faysal Mikdad held a telephone conversation with his Tunisian counterpart, Nabil Ammar.

During the phone call, the two diplomats discussed plans to strengthen the representation of Tunisia's embassy in Damascus and the necessity to appoint an ambassador to that mission.

The two also exchanged warm regards on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan and discussed means of strengthening bilateral relations, SANA's report further noted. 

The great majority of Arab nations broke ties with Syria in 2012 over allegations that the Government was conducting a violent crackdown against anti-government protesters, while it was conducting a defensive war against foreign-backed terrorist groups and militants. 

For years, Syria has suffered unfair treatment from the international community, particularly in light of deliberate aggressions initiated by the Israeli occupation, as well as frequent lootings from US occupation forces stationed in the North and sporadic terrorist attacks from ISIS and other affiliated terrorist organizations. 

Sources reported on April 2 that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may be invited by Saudi Arabia to the Arab League summit that is due to be hosted in Riyadh on May 19, which would put an end to Syria's regional isolation that it has been suffering from since 2011.
