The Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, has arrived in Moscow in his first foreign visit since an uprising against his authoritarian rule broke out in 2011.
The Kremlin made the details of the visit on Tuesday evening public on Wednesday but did not say whether the Syrian leader was still in Moscow or had returned home.
Moscow launched a military intervention three weeks ago in Syria, commencing airstrikes against opposition groups that were inching closer to Assad’s strongholds in the west.
The country has endured a debilitating civil war now in its fifth year that has claimed more than 250,000 lives.
