Snow posted on the "X" platform, stating: "The United Kingdom stands with the Syrian people and will continue to do so." She added: "I returned to Damascus for talks with Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara and Foreign and Expatriates Minister Asaad al-Shabani regarding the regional situation and the transitional phase in Syria."
