Guterres Urges Immediate Syria Sanction Relief

The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, urged for the immediate lifting of all sanctions imposed on Syria to support the country's economic recovery. This call came during his first visit to Damascus since the outbreak of the war in 2011. He expressed his welcome for the partial easing of sanctions, which has opened new prospects for economic reform, but emphasized the need for their complete removal to achieve comprehensive and rapid economic stability. The visit occurs amid Syria's efforts to rebuild its international relations and to benefit from the easing of American sanctions, aiming to attract investments, revitalize production sectors, and carry out reconstruction after years of destruction and displacement. This step is considered crucial to advancing efforts to transition from conflict to economic stability, especially given the damage to infrastructure and the decline in economic activity since the war began 14 years ago.
