STORYLINE:
Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, said Thursday that his nation is ready to partner with Syria's new administration to rebuild and develop the country.
Speaking alongside Syria's interim leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, in a joint press conference, Al Thani emphasized the "urgent need" to lift sanctions on Syria to ensure the continuation of public services and kick-start economic recovery.
SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): MOHAMMED BIN ABDULRAHMAN AL THANI, Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister
"We meet today on the threshold of a new phase in Syria's history -- a phase of rebuilding, development, progress, and stability. Qatar extends its hand to the Syrian people for a future partnership that will benefit both of our nations."
SOUNDBITE 2 (Arabic): MOHAMMED BIN ABDULRAHMAN AL THANI, Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister
"The needs required to provide public services to the Syrian people are absolutely vital. On a practical level, we will also offer the necessary technical support to rehabilitate key infrastructure. In addition, we are committed to supporting the electricity sector. This agreement includes supplying 200 megawatts of power, with plans to gradually expand the service to more than 10 areas across Syria. We look forward to a future partnership between our two countries."
He further noted that the Emir of Qatar plans to visit Syria in the near future and announced "significant momentum" in upcoming Qatari-Syrian projects.
Al Thani also condemned Israel's recent moves in the demilitarized zone, calling for an immediate withdrawal.
In his remarks, al-Sharaa underscored that Israel's advances in the buffer area under the pretext of countering Iranian militias were no longer justified "after the liberation of Damascus."
He reiterated Syria's readiness to welcome international peacekeeping forces and maintain respect for the 1974 disengagement accord.
"We've informed global stakeholders of our willingness to receive UN troops and guarantee their safety," al-Sharaa said, adding that Qatar will play a "pivotal role" in opposing Israel's incursion and supporting Syria's nascent rebuilding efforts.
The press conference marks a continuation of intensive diplomatic outreach by the new Syrian leadership since it took power in December 2024.
