STORYLINE:
The leaders of Argentina, Brazil and Syria departed UN headquarters in New York Wednesday following meetings at the UN General Assembly.
The annual gathering of world leaders began this week.
Turning the page on decades of distance, Syria’s president Ahmad al-Sharaa addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday.
It marked the first time any president from his country has done so in almost 60 years.
Ahmad al-Sharaa said Wednesday that Syria is returning to the international community after six decades of dictatorship that killed 1 million people and tortured hundreds of thousands.
Al-Sharaa became the first Syrian head of state to speak at the United Nations since Noureddine Attasi gave a speech in 1967 shortly after the Arab-Israeli war, during which Damascus lost control of the Golan Heights that Israel later annexed in 1981.
