DOHA, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- A Qatari diplomatic delegation has arrived in Damascus, the capital of Syria, to complete the procedures for reopening Qatar's embassy in Syria, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari said on Sunday.

The delegation met with representatives of "Syria's transitional government" and reaffirmed Qatar's commitment to supporting the Syrian people in their pursuit of security, peace, development, and prosperity, according to Al Ansari.

Al Ansari also noted that participants of the meeting also discussed ways to enhance the flow of Qatari humanitarian aid and assessed the urgent needs of the Syrian population during this critical phase.

Qatar announced on Wednesday to reopen its embassy in Damascus, days after a militant coalition, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), ousted former President Bashar al-Assad on Dec. 8. Qatar closed its embassy in Damascus in 2011, following the outbreak of anti-government protests in Syria. Enditem
