Top Arab Diplomats Engage in Outreach Efforts with Syria's New Leadership

ai generated text

Recent diplomatic efforts have been made to engage with Syria's new leadership. Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and a delegation from Qatar have met with Syria's de facto ruler Ahmed al-Sharaa in Damascus. The Jordanian minister expressed support for Syria's reconstruction process. This marks a shift in regional policies, as countries like Jordan and Qatar have previously been cautious in their dealings with the Syrian government due to the ongoing civil war. Qatar, in particular, has historically been an outspoken critic of the Syrian regime. The meetings are seen as a sign of regional powers attempting to rebuild relationships with Syria and potentially reassert their influence in the region.

    1. Syria and its people need support during this crucial phase which requires the concerted efforts of everyone, especially concerning the lifting of sanctions and the upcoming developmental projects.
    1. Israel should withdraw from Syrian territory respecting the 1974 agreement.
    2. We share a 375km [230-mile] border with Syria. We want that border to be stable, free from terrorist organisations, free from drugs and weapon smuggling.
    3. We stand by our Syrian brothers as they start the rebuilding process.
    4. We are working out the challenges and discussed the security of our common border with Mr Sharaa today.
    5. We want a stable, secure, safe Syria that guarantees the rights of its people through a transitional process consistent with the aspirations of Syrian people.
    1. The Qatari side expressed its readiness for wide investments in Syria in many sectors, chief amongst them the energy sector in which they have great experience ... as well as the ports and airports.
