Syria's First Lady has exclusively told Sky News she would welcome the Obamas to Damascus.
Asma al Assad's comments are the latest in a series of signs US Syrian relations are improving after years of tension.
"The fact is President Obama is young," she said, "and President Assad is also very young as well, so maybe it is time for these young leaders to make a difference in the world".
And she gladly envisioned welcoming Michelle Obama and her husband in a presidential palace in Damascus in the near future.
"I can see myself hosting them in Damascus in the old town, meeting with people, getting a sense of how we live, who we are and what Syria's about," she said.
The comments follow news America is to send an ambassador to Syria for the first time in four years.
It follows President Obama's offer of a "new beginning" in relations between the US and the Muslim world in general.

More appeasment to terrorist regimes.
Extreme liberal acquaintances who visited Syria were struck by two things. Virulent antisemitism on display everywhere, and they just dump their garbage in the desert.
Here Obama... come on. That’s right. Sit down. Now roll over. Sit up... now bark...That’s a good president....goooood president.
they have a great deal in common, IMO.
This could be too much for “O” to resist, unless of course, Hillary puts her foot down.
looks “okay” for an extremist....
It seems that the women leaders are the ones with all the balls these days.
I love this “make a difference” garbage. Hitler made a difference.
Obama will do what he does best, appease more terrorist regimes.
