A state-run Syrian newspaper has welcomed the victory of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama and says the country is ready for serious dialogue with the new leader.
Al-Thawra says Obama's victory has "inspired" people across the globe and the American people should be congratulated for electing him.
It is rare praise from a country that has been shunned and isolated by the current administration of U.S. President George W. Bush.
Tension between the two sides increased last month following an American attack inside Syria near Iraq that Damascus says killed eight civilians. U.S. officials say the attack targeted an al-Qaida in Iraq figure.
Al-Thawra said Thursday Syria "extends its hand" to Obama and is ready for dialogue.
