(Reuters) -Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa is expected to address the U.N. General Assembly in New York in September, a Syrian official told Reuters on Monday.

Sharaa, who once pledged allegiance to al Qaeda before severing ties in 2016, met with U.S President Donald in Saudi Arabia in May in a bid to have sanctions on Syria lifted.
