Arab Parliament welcomes Washington's initiation of procedures to remove Syria from the list of state sponsors of terrorism

Al-Yamahi said in a statement that this “positive step” represents a significant development that supports Syria’s return to playing its natural role on the international stage and helps alleviate economic and humanitarian burdens on the Syrian people.

In this regard, he expressed hope that it would contribute to revitalizing the economy, attracting investments, and advancing reconstruction efforts in a manner that meets the aspirations of Syrians for security, stability, and prosperity.

In the same context, he called on the international community to continue taking steps that would support Syria’s stability and economic recovery, and to enhance cooperation with it in order to consolidate security, stability, and development in the region, emphasizing that Syria’s stability constitutes a fundamental pillar for the security and stability of the entire Arab region.

President Trump had previously informed his Syrian counterpart, Ahmed al-Sharaa, during their meeting in the Turkish capital Ankara on the sidelines of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit, that the United States would remove Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism.
