Asaad al-Shaibani discusses Syria’s journey towards democracy, rebuilding trust, lifting sanctions, and preventing new conflicts.
In an exclusive Al Jazeera interview, Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani addresses the challenges facing the country post the Assad regime. With the responsibility of rebuilding trust internally and externally, al-Shaibani outlines strategies to promote democracy, dismantle military factions, and engage with influential neighboring countries. He highlights the critical need to lift US sanctions and garner support from affluent Arab nations to reconstruct a war-ravaged Syria. Faced with millions of displaced individuals and high domestic expectations, the new government must strive to unite a divided nation while steering clear of potential conflicts, including those with Israel.
