Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani welcomed US President Donald Trump's signing of an executive order to lift sanctions on Syria.
In a post on X, Minister Al-Shaibani welcomed the removal of the majority of sanctions imposed on the Syrian Arab Republic, calling the executive order issued by President Trump a historic decision.
Lifting the sanctions will help propel Syria into a new phase of prosperity, stability, and openness to the international community, he added.
He stressed that lifting this major barrier to economic recovery would open the door to long-awaited reconstruction and development efforts, as well as the rehabilitation of vital infrastructure, creating the necessary conditions for the safe and dignified return of displaced Syrians to their homeland.
Trump on Monday signed an executive order ending many US sanctions on Syria.
