Speaking at the Brussels IX donor conference on Syria, he called on the international community to increase support for reconstruction and humanitarian efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shibani emphasized that the Brussels conference is a &#8220;moral obligation&#8221; for the global community and a key opportunity to alleviate Syrian suffering. He pointed to &#8220;real political transformations&#8221; in Damascus and asserted that the current government remains committed to national reconciliation and inclusive dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The former regime manipulated minority rights for political gain, but we will not allow such exploitation again,&#8221; he stated, stressing a commitment to citizenship and equal rights for all Syrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foreign minister highlighted ongoing threats to Syria\u2019s stability, citing remnants of the former regime, border militias, and Israeli incursions. He also welcomed recent EU steps, including the suspension of some sanctions, but noted that these measures fall short of Syrian expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shibani underscored that rebuilding Syria is not just a national responsibility but a global one, calling on donor nations to invest in sustainable development projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Reconstruction is an international duty, and we are committed to working with humanitarian partners to ensure aid reaches those in need,&#8221; he added, urging donor countries to take a more active role in Syria\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brussels IX conference, attended by key international stakeholders, focuses on securing financial commitments for humanitarian relief and long-term reconstruction in Syria. While European nations have expressed conditional support, analysts suggest that broader political and security concerns will shape future engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Syria\u2019s evolving political landscape and the pressing need for stability, the international response in the coming months will be crucial in determining the country\u2019s path forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kardo Roj&nbsp; DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani said Monday that despite the Syrian people celebrating the fall of the Assad regime, their suffering continues due to its lingering influence.
