Damascus, SANA- Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has welcomed the recent announcement by the United Kingdom regarding the amendment of its sanctions system on Syria, including the lifting of restrictions on 12 Syrian entities.
“This step is considered as a constructive move toward normalizing international relations and supporting the urgent needs of the Syrian people following a devastating 14-year war,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
The Ministry added “The removal of sanctions on key sectors, such as financial services and energy production, along with lifting restrictions on the Syrian Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, and national media institutions, will directly contribute to improving the conditions of the Syrian people. These measures will enable us to embark on vital reforms in our public sectors and security services, as well as attract the necessary investments for rebuilding Syria’s infrastructure and national economy.”
The Ministry noted that this step represents an important recognition of the Syrian people’s right to live with dignity, security, and prosperity after years of suffering under the Assad ousted regime.
The Foreign Ministry affirmed its readiness to work with all international partners committed to peace, stability, and the reconstruction of Syria.
It renewed its full commitment to national renewal, justice, and building a future that includes all Syrians, considering this development as a significant milestone on the path to regional stability and international cooperation.
