周二，随着法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙的专机抵达大马士革，一批共计 23 件的考古文物被正式移交给叙利亚方面。这批物品包括罗马青铜器、拜占庭时期及伊斯兰时期的物件以及马赛克面板等，它们在法国滞留了约 15 年 [1]。此次移交是叙法断交后首批通过外交渠道归还的文物 [1]。
马克龙此行也是自巴沙尔·阿萨德于 2024 年底下台以来，首位访问大马士革的主要西方领导人 [1]。叙利亚外交部表示，法国是该国在战后恢复国际文化合作中首个进行此类文物归还的国家 [1]。叙利亚方面指出，这一举动标志着其重建与国际社会文化交流的重要一步 [1]。
French President Emmanuel Macron returned 23 archaeological artifacts to Syria during his visit to Damascus on Tuesday [1]. The shipment, which arrived aboard the president's special aircraft, includes items dating from Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic periods such as bronze objects and mosaic panels [1]. These treasures had been held in France for approximately 15 years before their repatriation [1]. This handover marks the first return of artifacts to Syria via diplomatic channels since relations between Damascus and Paris were severed following the Syrian civil war [1]. The event represents a significant step toward restoring international cultural cooperation for Syria after its conflict, according to officials in the country's foreign ministry [1]. Macron's trip also stands as the first visit by a major Western leader to Damascus since Bashar al-Assad stepped down at the end of 2024 [1]. French authorities noted that France is the first nation to resume such cultural restitution cooperation with Syria following the war [1].
