A delegation from the United Nations Security Council will arrive in Syria on Thursday. This marks the first official visit by the full council to the country.
The trip coincides with the anniversary of what Syrian state media calls the nation's "liberation." This refers to the fall of the previous government over a decade ago.
During the visit, members are expected to meet with Syrian officials. The council's agenda includes discussions on political progress and humanitarian issues.
The 15-member Security Council is the UN's most powerful body. It is responsible for maintaining international peace and security.
