She added that there are a diplomatic recovery and an international openness for the Autonomous Administration’s held areas in north and east of Syria, to see the status, the working mechanism and its structural and institutional work, revealing that there’re promises to support the administration in terms of service, relief, and reconstruction, especially by the Swedish delegation that has visited the region recently.
On the other hand, Ms. Dada pointed out that all of the components of north and eastern Syria are entitled to participate in the political process, by saying “We are open to dialogue, there are mutual visits with many countries, and we have delegations abroad concerning our participation in the political process and the safe area”.
