The UAE has welcomed the announcement by US President Donald Trump to begin the process of removing Syria from the United States’ list of State Sponsors of Terrorism.
In a formal statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it appreciates Trump’s decision, describing it as “a positive development that will support Syria’s recovery and reconstruction efforts, create broader prospects for revitalising the economy and attracting investment, and enhance Syria’s integration into the global economy.”
The ministry added that the step would contribute to “strengthening security, stability, and prosperity” in Syria, and reaffirmed the UAE’s support for all efforts aimed at fulfilling “the aspirations of the Syrian people for security, stability, peaceful coexistence, and sustainable development.”
