Diplomatic relations were formalized on Thursday in Damascus between the South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae Tae Yula and the Syrian Foreign Affairs Minister Asaad Al-Shaibania, Al Jazeera.
During the ceremony, the Cho said that South Korea was ready to help Syria in recovery from the 13th year Civil War through business investment and humanitarian aid.
Al-Shaibani said he hopes Seoul would support the mitigation of international sanctions, which were still in force of Damascus, according to the announcement of the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The establishment of official connections concludes the talks that began in February with the approval of the Government in Seoul, according to the South Korean news agency Yonhap, and comes at the time of both countries in the middle of large political transitions.
In December, the opposition forces in Syria overthrow President Al-Assad, whose family ruled the earth for more than 50 years. The transitional government laid the oath of the 30th. March under the leadership of Al-Shara, which previously led forces against Assad during the Civil War in Syria.
The focus of the Government of Al-Sharaa is to return stability in Syria, which is still struggling with violent conflicts months after the fall of Assad.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol was formally revoked last week after parliament received the country’s constitutional court for his shift from office.
Yoon caused a political crisis in December when he briefly declared a state of emergency, claiming that “anti-state” and North Korean forces were infiltrating in the government.
South Korea now runs the degradation of the president, and voters will choose Yoon’s replacement during early elections in June.
With the addition of Damascus, Seoul now has diplomatic connections with all UN members, a total of 191, including the Holy Chair in Rome.
Last year, Seoul and Cuba, another ally of North Korea, established diplomatic ties in a surprising move that ended decades of isolation.
