Syrian Finance Minister, Mohammad Yusr Barniyeh said that the repeal of the Caesar Act by U.S. Senate represents a major diplomatic achievement for Syria signaling the end of the most severe American sanctions on the country.
Minister Barniyeh wrote on Facebook: “A joyful announcement just moments ago the U.S. Senate has approved, within the Department of Defense budget, a provision to repeal the Caesar Act.
“This decision ultimately reflects the success of Syrian diplomacy in lifting the final and most stringent American sanctions,” he added.
The minister concluded by saying that: “The sanctions are behind us, God willing. Our path forward is one of reconstruction, reform, and development. This is a clear message to all those who doubt Syria’s trajectory and future.”
