Guterres urges sanctions removal in Syria
During his visit to Syria, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for the complete and immediate lifting of sanctions imposed on the country to support the economic recovery process and reconstruction. He emphasized that the sanctions imposed on Syria, some of which were eased after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, continue to tighten on the nation and hinder efforts to restore infrastructure and essential services. He pointed out that the cost of rebuilding Syria has exceeded $216 billion and that foreign investment remains slow despite relative stability. Guterres urged the international community to support Syria politically and economically, to help it restore displaced persons and rebuild its institutions. He affirmed that such support would help unleash the country's economic potential and reintegrate it into the regional and global economy.
