Syria's delegation to the United Nations climate summit in Dubai will be headed by its prime minister, a delegate said, without specifying whether President Bashar al-Assad would eventually pay a visit to the COP28 gathering.

Those demonstrations spiralled into a full-scale war that displaced millions, gutted the country's infrastructure and sank Syria into a devastating economic crisis deepened by sanctions.
