The national dialogue conference in Damascus, attended by around 600 participants, marks a pivotal moment in Syria's post-war governance. Following Assad's ousting, the conference aims to foster an inclusive discussion about the country's future rules as they prepare for a transitional government. With representation from various communities still uncertain, the focus is on drafting nonbinding recommendations to help shape a new constitution and address critical issues, including economic rebuilding and justice for war crimes. Interim leader Ahmad al-Sharaa emphasized the historical significance of this moment for the nation.
"Just as Syria has liberated itself by itself, it is appropriate for it to build itself by itself. What we are experiencing today is an exceptional and rare historical opportunity in which we must use every moment to serve the interests of our people and our nation and honor the sacrifices of its children."
"The aim of the conference was to come up with nonbinding recommendations on the country's interim rules before a new constitution is drafted and a new government is formed."
