NNA - The Commander-in-Chief of the new administration in Syria, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, met with former Vice President Farouk Al-Sharaa and invited him to attend a national dialogue conference, according to what a relative of the former official said on Sunday, as reported by Agence France-Presse.

Marwan Al-Sharaa, Farouk's cousin, told Agence France-Presse in a phone call, "Since the first days of Ahmed Al-Sharaa's entry into Damascus, he visited Farouk Al-Sharaa at his place of residence in a suburb of Damascus, and invited him to attend a national conference that will be held soon."

He added: "My cousin, Professor Farouk, accepted the invitation with open arms. By coincidence, my cousin's last public appearance was at the National Dialogue Conference at the Sahara Hotel in 2011, and his first public appearance after that will be at the next National Dialogue Conference."
