Damascus, SANA- Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Syrian Arab Republic has welcomed the remarks made by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the possibility of lifting sanctions imposed on Syria, considering them an encouraging step towards alleviating the suffering of the Syrian people.
In a statement published Monday on its Telegram channel, the Ministry said: “While these sanctions were originally imposed on the former dictatorial Assad regime and contributed to its end, they now directly impact the Syrian people and obstruct the path to post-war recovery and reconstruction.”
The Ministry added: “The Syrian people aspire to a full lifting of these sanctions as part of broader measures that support peace and prosperity in both Syria and the region, and pave the way for constructive international cooperation that promotes stability and development.”
