Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani will attend a meeting of the international chemical weapons watchdog in the Netherlands, reaffirming Syria's commitment to international security. This comes nearly three months after Bashar Assad's ouster and amidst concerns about the fate of Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons. The visit of OPCW chief Fernando Arias to Damascus raised hope that Syria could finally be rid of chemical weapons after years of obstruction to the organization's work.
