European nations are preparing to assist in Syria's reconstruction following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad. As part of this effort, the EU plans to suspend certain sanctions affecting key sectors, which will help stabilize the country financially. The goal is to support the new leaders and rebuild infrastructure while ensuring that the transition aligns with human rights and democratic standards. This approach reflects a strategic shift towards engaging with Syria after years of isolation.
"We are going to decide today to lift, to suspend, certain sanctions that had applied to the energy and transport sectors and to financial institutions that were key to the financial stabilisation of the country."
"The EU wants to give Syria's new government financial relief while creating time to determine whether the coalition led by former rebels Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) will evolve in a way that is consistent with human rights and democratic norms."
