Top Arab diplomats visited the Syrian capital on Monday, the latest in a string of diplomatic overtures by the international community as Syria emerges from years of isolation under President Bashar al-Assad.

The visits by ministers from Jordan and Qatar, just two weeks after Mr. al-Assad’s fall, suggest that Arab nations are eager for better relations with a country that had been a pariah and a source of instability in the region.

Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Shara, held “extensive talks” with Jordan’s foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, in Damascus on Monday, according to a statement from the Jordanian foreign ministry. Hours later, Qatar’s minister of state for foreign affairs, Mohammed Al-Khulaifi, also arrived in Syria and met with its new leadership, according to the Qatari foreign ministry.

They were among the first high-ranking Arab diplomats to visit Syria since Mr. al-Assad was toppled two weeks ago by the rebel coalition led by Mr. al-Shara. Top Arab diplomats had vowed at a meeting in Jordan this month to “support a peaceful transition process” in Syria.

Most Arab nations cut ties with Mr. al-Assad’s government because of his ruthless crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in 2011 during the Arab Spring, which ignited a civil war. But after years of funding anti-Assad militias, several of Mr. al-Assad’s detractors reversed their stance in recent years, hoping that increased engagement might bring more stability to the region.

Last year, the Saudi government in Riyadh invited Mr. al-Assad to the Arab League summit, more than a decade after the league suspended Syria’s membership. But the strategy didn’t pay off, said Julien Barnes-Dacey, Middle East and North Africa program director at the European Council on Foreign Relations. And Mr. al-Assad continued with his heavy-handed tactics. Now Arab nations are jumping at the chance to start again with new leadership in Syria.
