英国女孩成为叙利亚第一夫人

“It’s time for us to change. It’s time for us to open up to the whole world in order to let them see us as the real us.”

America wants to pull Syria away from his alliance with Iran, sending its first ambassador here in four years.

“Is this a sign that Syria is opening up?”

“It’s already opened, Dominic. You should know this. You've been here before.”

“Well, it seems very much as having sanctions imposed because it is not opened up enough, not engaged enough.”

“We don’t impose the sanctions. So we are opened and we wanna open even more. It’s, er, we were never closed.”

America says Syria is integral to its Middle-East policy. Tensions are easing but much more diplomacy's required before this first lady is hosting her US counterpart any time soon.
