UN lifted sanctions on the Syrian leadership

The United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution proposed by the United States. According to this document, international sanctions imposed against Syria's interim president Ahmad ash-Sharaa and Minister of Internal Affairs Anas Khattab have been lifted.

In the vote held on November 6, 14 countries expressed their "approval," with only China's representative abstaining. This decision is seen as marking a new era between Damascus and the international community.

The adopted resolution emphasizes the need for full respect for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic. Previously, the restrictions imposed against ash-Sharaa and Khattab were part of a broader package of sanctions targeting individuals and entities associated with terrorist organizations—"Islamic State" and "Al-Qaeda."

Representatives of many countries, including the United Kingdom, Russian Federation, France, and Pakistan, regarded this decision as an "important step" toward stabilizing Syria and ensuring its economic recovery. Official Damascus, for its part, expressed gratitude and interpreted the decision as "growing confidence" in the new Syrian leadership.

According to the Syrian government, this act of goodwill creates an opportunity for the country's full return to the international arena. This decision was adopted on the eve of a major event between the US and Syria.

On November 10, Ahmad ash-Sharaa’s first official visit to Washington is scheduled. During the visit, a meeting with US President Donald Trump is expected to be organized.

The main topic of the negotiations is expected to be the signing of an agreement for Syria to join the international coalition against the "Islamic State" led by the US. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
