A statement from the Syrian Foreign Ministry said the updates to UK Syria sanctions regulations is a constructive step towards normalizing international relations and supporting the urgent needs of the Syrian people.
The UK Treasury announced in a statement today that 12 Syrian entities, including the Ministries of Defense and Interior and media outlets, were no longer on the previously prepared sanctions list.
Welcoming the move, the Syrian foreign ministry said that lifting sanctions on key sectors such as financial services and energy production, along with removing restrictions on the Syrian Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Interior, and national media institutions, will directly contribute to improving the conditions of Syrians.
It added that these measures will enable Damascus to initiate vital reforms in the public and security sectors, as well as attract the investments needed to rebuild Syria’s infrastructure and national economy.
The statement affirmed Syria’s readiness to work with all international partners committed to peace, stability, and the reconstruction of Syria. (
