In his meeting with Michael Karnitschnig, Acting Director-General for the Middle East, North Africa, and the Gulf at the European Commission, Kadish discussed expanding joint humanitarian and development frameworks. The two sides focused on mechanisms to support Syria’s economic recovery and promote regional stability.
Kadish also met with Navid Hanif, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development in the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA).
