Damascus, Dec. 19 (SANA) Minister of Economy and Industry Nidal al-Shaar affirmed that the repeal of the Caesar Act was not merely a legal step, but rather the removal of a heavy barrier that had shackled Syria’s economy and burdened the lives of Syrians for years. He noted that the decision opens long-awaited new horizons, granting Syria an exceptional privilege and restoring its natural place among the nations of the world.
Al-Shaar explained, in a post on his Facebook page Friday, that this stage represents a turning point requiring work, responsibility, and the ability to prove oneself, moving from a mindset of resilience to one of achievement, and from waiting for opportunities to creating them.
He stressed that the coming phase demands a genuine revolution in mentality and behavior, liberation from the legacy of isolation, closure, exploitation, and bullying, and the building of a normal state with a free people, confident in themselves, capable of competing and engaging with the world on equal footing and mutual respect.
The minister emphasized that this transformation requires a broad and organized national effort to rebuild trust with the international community. He highlighted the need to demonstrate that Syria is a reliable partner, a safe environment for investment, and capable of commitment, transparency, and sustainability.
Al-Shaar stressed that this effort cannot be borne by the government alone, but is a responsibility shared by every Syrian at home and abroad. He considered that every word, action, and initiative send a message to the world, and that adopting this new mindset and promoting a responsible image of Syria and its people lays the foundation for a new historic phase of genuine revival, restoring Syria’s standing, and building a strong economy worthy of the sacrifices of its people.
