Qatar’s Prime Minister met with Syria’s leader in Damascus on Thursday. They talked about Qatar wanting to help rebuild Syria. This shows Qatar is interested in being a big part of Syria’s recovery after the war. It also looks like things are changing between the two countries with possibly better relationships to come.
The Prime Minister also said it’s important to remove sanctions on Syria because they’re making it hard for people to get basic services and the economy to get better. Qatar thinks getting rid of sanctions will help Syria meet its peoples needs and grow economically. This is a different view than others who want to keep the sanctions as pressure on Syria’s government.
Qatar’s leader said they see a new beginning for Syria and want to work together as partners. While they didn’t give specifics about what kind of help they would offer, this meeting shows Qatar is moving to a more supportive position. They’re also asking other countries to consider if sanctions are making recovery more difficult for Syria.
