[00:07:16] will start soon according to international specifications
[00:07:20] and at a cost of up to 300 million
[00:07:24] dollars. People of Deir, our dear
[00:07:27] people, I have a speech in my hands, but I will not read it.
[00:07:30] May God bless you. There were many speeches, thank God. They fulfilled
[00:07:34] their promises, meaning the ministers who are sharing this joy with you,
[00:07:38] thank God. Today, Deir ez-Zor Airport
[00:07:40] has transformed
[00:07:43] from a place that used to carry bombs and drop them on homes, residences,
[00:07:47] farms, and lands, and it has transformed into
[00:07:50] a link between the inside and the inside, and between the outside
[00:07:54] world and the inside. So we share this joy with you, and we wished
[00:07:58] that we could be present among you today.
[00:08:01] And you deserve much more than this, people of Deir. We have
[00:08:05] development plans that we are working on
[00:08:08] for the eastern region, Deir ez-Zor,
[00:08:11] Al-Hasakah, Raqqa, and all of Syria. However, due to the specificity
[00:08:15] of the eastern region and its abundant generosity,
[00:08:21] gradually implementing development plans there, including the rehabilitation
[00:08:24] of infrastructure, and also the rehabilitation of the health sector
[00:08:28] there. There is also a hospital
[00:08:31] for cancer diseases
[00:08:35] that will also be worked on, almost at a cost estimated at
[00:08:38] 21 million dollars. And also the road connecting
[00:08:43] Damascus and Deir ez-Zor, also a two-way road.
[00:08:46] We have been working since last year on
[00:08:51] road, and we have almost reached the final stages of it.
[00:08:54] With a cost estimated at
[00:08:58] between 275 million dollars to 300 million dollars, work will begin
[00:09:02] on it soon, God willing. The Minister of Transport
[00:09:05] informed me a few days ago that they have almost overseen
[00:09:08] the end of
[00:09:11] companies. According to international specifications, God willing, in a way that befits
[00:09:15] Deir ez-Zor, God willing. And also the road connecting
[00:09:19] Al-Bukamal and Raqqa will be worked on
[00:09:21] for its rehabilitation,
[00:09:24] the inside, between
[00:09:27] Al-Bukamal and Deir ez-Zor,
[00:09:31] will also be worked on. And also the bridges that were destroyed,
[00:09:34] also the Al-Siyasiya and Al-Mayadin bridges at their head. We are also working
[00:09:37] on rehabilitating them
[00:09:40] and rebuilding them again, God willing,
[00:09:42] when the matter is completed. And there is also a project
[00:09:46] for a large industrial city that will also have food industries
[00:09:49] and also petrochemical industries to provide large
[00:09:53] employment opportunities and also to export products directly from
[00:09:57] Deir ez-Zor to all parts
[00:10:00] of the world. How will the people of Deir ez-Zor be? Made in Deir
[00:10:03] ez-Zor, God willing, soon. So, God willing,
[00:10:06] all these projects we are working on, God willing, diligently. We need
[00:10:10] some time until these projects are completed, and this
[00:10:14] is something we do not consider much for our people in Deir ez-Zor and our people in the East
[00:10:17] as well. And these are just the beginnings, God willing,
[00:10:20] and the first thing we start with is connecting roads so that people can
[00:10:24] go and return to Deir ez-Zor safely
[00:10:27] and comfortably. I extend my sincere thanks to the
[00:10:31] Syrian Civil Aviation Authority and Mr.
[00:10:34] Omar Hasri for all the strenuous efforts and
[00:10:37] the great attention he provided during the past
[00:10:41] period for the establishment of Deir ez-Zor Airport. Thank you all, and a thousand
[00:10:44] congratulations, God willing, and we will see you in the greatest
[00:10:47] joys, God willing, in the near future. And peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
[00:10:50] In turn,
[00:10:52] the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Mr. Asaad Al-Shaibani,
[00:10:56] confirmed during the reopening ceremony of Deir ez-Zor Airport
[00:10:59] that Deir ez-Zor Governorate is one of the
[00:11:02] hearts of Syria, and it is the link between the Levant
[00:11:06] and Mesopotamia, as it provided Syria with
[00:11:08] resources for its economic security for decades
[00:11:14] wheat and cotton. Minister Al-Shaibani added
[00:11:17] that Deir ez-Zor was a strong pillar of the
[00:11:21] Syrian Revolution since the first weeks of 2011,
[00:11:23] as it paid the price for its free stance
[00:11:27] by offering martyrs and enduring the siege, bombing,
[00:11:30] displacement, and destruction.
[00:11:34] When we mention Deir ez-Zor, we are
[00:11:37] talking about a strong pillar of the Syrian
[00:11:40] Revolution. Since the first weeks of 2011,
[00:11:44] this city rose early,
[00:11:47] and the Square of Freedom in it echoed with the cry
[00:11:50] of "One Nation", a pure cry for Syria.
[00:11:54] From end to end, Syria, which we are rising
[00:11:57] with today, will not be complete in its recovery
[00:12:00] except with the recovery of its east,
[00:12:03] and here is its east returning
[00:12:06] to its embrace, and life is flowing in it anew.
[00:12:10] The reconstruction of vital facilities is a comprehensive
[00:12:13] and interconnected national path that tops
[00:12:16] the priorities of the Syrian state, and with it
[00:12:19] Syrian geography is reunited, and state institutions regain
[00:12:23] their vitality and function, and the
[00:12:26] sacrifices of Syrians are translated into a dignified and sustainable
[00:12:30] life.
[00:12:33] The Head of the Civil Aviation Authority, Omar Al-Hasri, confirmed that the reopening
[00:12:36] of Deir ez-Zor Airport represents a new
[00:12:39] phase in the process of rebuilding Syria
[00:12:43] and strengthening national development, noting that
[00:12:46] the project was completed in a
[00:12:50] the relevant authorities, while adhering to the highest standards
[00:12:53] of safety and efficiency. Al-Hasri confirmed that Deir
[00:12:57] ez-Zor Airport is part of a national vision to develop the Syrian
[00:13:00] airports network and enhance balanced development, which
[00:13:04] enhances the civil aviation sector's ability to support the economy
[00:13:08] and connect Syria to the world.
[00:13:11] The opening of Deir ez-Zor Airport today does not merely represent
[00:13:15] the re-operation of a service facility, but rather embodies
[00:13:18] a new phase in the process of rebuilding
[00:13:22] Syria and restoring institutions.
[00:13:25] And driving the wheel of development and enhancing confidence
[00:13:29] in the state's ability to implement strategic projects
[00:13:31] that serve citizens and support the national
[00:13:35] economy. From day one and under the guidance of
[00:13:38] His Excellency the President, the re-operation of Deir ez-Zor Airport
[00:13:42] was a national priority
[00:13:46] of this airport in serving the people of the governorate
[00:13:50] and facilitating the movement of citizens and enhancing
[00:13:53] economic activity. And investment and reintegrating
[00:13:57] eastern Syria into the national
[00:14:00] and international air transport
[00:14:03] standpoint, the General Authority of Civil Aviation,
[00:14:08] the ministries, institutions, and relevant authorities, worked
[00:14:12] to complete this project in a record
[00:14:15] time while fully adhering to the highest standards
[00:14:19] of safety, security, and operational efficiency.
[00:14:22] We believe that investment in civil aviation is
[00:14:26] an investment in the future of the entire Syrian
[00:14:29] economy because it stimulates trade, encourages
[00:14:32] investment, creates job opportunities, and opens
[00:14:36] new horizons for growth and development.
[00:14:39] The Governor of Deir ez-Zor,
[00:14:42] Ziad Al-Alish, affirmed that the opening of Deir ez-Zor Airport
[00:14:46] and its return to service represent an important
[00:14:50] step in supporting development
[00:14:53] the governorate and eastern Syria.
[00:14:56] Al-Alish explained that the airport serves as a vital
[00:15:00] artery connecting the people of the governorate and expatriates to their homeland
[00:15:03] and families, and contributes to enhancing their participation in the development
[00:15:06] and investment process.
[00:15:10] Deir ez-Zor Governorate today possesses great
[00:15:13] potential for growth, progress, and prosperity
[00:15:16] in various sectors, and the return of the airport to service
[00:15:20] and its international expansion will be an important factor in
[00:15:24] supporting the development plan and accelerating the economic wheel
[00:15:27] and enhancing investment opportunities, which will positively
[00:15:31] impact the lives of citizens and the future
[00:15:33] of Syria, in addition to being a vital
[00:15:36] artery and a body that connects expatriates from this
[00:15:40] governorate to their land and families, making it easier
[00:15:43] for them to return and increasing their attachment to their homeland
[00:15:46] and their effective participation in the process
[00:15:49] of its renaissance and reconstruction. On this occasion,
[00:15:52] thanks are extended to the General Authority
[00:15:55] for Civil Aviation and Air Transport, and to all
[00:15:59] ministries, institutions, and relevant
[00:16:02] parties whose efforts combined
[00:16:05] and resulted in the return of the airport to service
[00:16:09] at a level befitting this national landmark
[00:16:31] a busy day since the early
[00:16:34] hours of dawn, when a plane arrived at
[00:16:38] the airport from Damascus
[00:16:41] International Airport, and it was the first plane carrying civilian passengers
[00:16:44] in more than 14 years,
[00:16:47] after its rehabilitation.
[00:16:51] Another plane arrived at 1 PM
[00:16:54] from Kuwait, and these
[00:16:58] two planes also carried passengers from Deir ez-Zor to
[00:17:01] Damascus and from Deir ez-Zor to Kuwait.
[00:17:04] Today, around 8 PM, the
[00:17:08] official opening ceremony of Deir ez-Zor Airport
[00:17:11] began. There were speeches, and President Ahmed
[00:17:15] Al-Sharaa's speech was touching to the people of Deir ez-Zor
[00:17:18] and the promises he made and his words
[00:17:22] in which he spoke about the people of the eastern
[00:17:25] region and the concerns of the people of the eastern region,
[00:17:29] and that the plans or the government's plans
[00:17:32] are based on rehabilitating everything
[00:17:36] that was damaged during the war years,
[00:17:39] received the approval of all attendees, especially the people of Deir ez-Zor,
[00:17:43] both dignitaries and tribal elders who
[00:17:47] opening was also attended by
[00:17:50] many ministers. Of course, Foreign Minister
[00:17:54] Asaad Al-Shaibani, Minister of Communications, Minister of Finance, Minister of Health,
[00:17:58] Minister of Information, and Minister of Justice,
[00:18:01] many ministers and many heads of authorities,
[00:18:05] political figures, military figures,
[00:18:09] opening. Everyone
[00:18:14] airport is a turning
[00:18:17] point in the history of Deir ez-Zor.
[00:18:20] Ending the place that was destroying this
[00:18:23] city to become a link
[00:19:01] this region
[00:19:04] returns to one road, which
[00:19:07] is the Damascus road, and many merchants and industrialists
[00:19:12] come to Deir ez-Zor due to the dilapidated roads
[00:19:16] that were destroyed by the regime's shelling during the war years.
[00:19:19] Today, this airport facilitates the arrival
[00:19:22] or departure of industrialists
[00:19:26] and merchants who want to invest in general.
[00:19:29] Investment activity will increase after the opening of Deir ez-Zor Airport.
[00:19:32] For the people of Deir ez-Zor, the issue of
[00:19:35] the Deir ez-Zor-Damascus road, which is
[00:19:39] considered dilapidated and needs maintenance, and which President
[00:19:42] Bashar al-Assad mentioned in his speech during the opening, and he confirmed
[00:19:46] that there will be roads that will suit
[00:19:49] the capital of Deir ez-Zor that will be built
[00:19:52] or established during the coming period.
[00:19:55] This has killed
[00:19:59] or hundreds of civilians have been
[00:20:02] killed on it. If I say hundreds of civilians,
[00:20:05] that is not enough. The latest was
[00:20:08] the Al-Sukhnah incident in which 35
[00:20:12] citizens were killed, including security personnel
[00:20:15] and civilians. So,
[00:20:18] this is the point that the people
[00:20:22] of Deir ez-Zor focus on, who
[00:20:25] will compensate for their travel by
[00:20:28] road from Deir ez-Zor to Damascus by air.
[00:20:32] Of course, some people from Deir ez-Zor talked about
[00:20:35] prices, but they confirmed that
[00:20:38] their joy at having an airline is greater than
[00:20:42] the price of the ticket from Deir ez-Zor to
[00:20:45] Damascus. Yes, thank you very much, our correspondent Ahmed Al-Attar. You were with us from Deir ez-Zor.
[00:22:00] in the opening of Deir ez-Zor Airport was not
[00:22:03] just a participation in the opening of a service facility, but an announcement of
[00:22:06] the launch of a package of interconnected investments aimed at transforming
[00:22:10] the eastern region into a new economic hub in
[00:22:13] Syria. The airport is the starting point, but it
[00:22:17] is directly linked
[00:22:20] to four strategic projects announced by His Excellency
[00:22:24] the President, which are industrial cities,
[00:22:26] an air freight center, a cancer hospital
[00:22:30] with an investment of about 21 million dollars, and the Damascus-Deir
[00:22:34] ez-Zor road, which costs up to 300 million dollars.
[00:22:37] This means that we are not talking about investments, meaning
[00:22:41] we are talking, excuse me, we are talking about announced investments
[00:22:44] exceeding 321 million dollars, without counting
[00:22:47] the value of the industrial city. And the development of the airport
[00:22:51] and the air cargo center economically,
[00:22:54] these projects operate according to the concept of an economic
[00:22:57] cluster, meaning that each project supports the other
[00:23:00] and doubles its economic impact. The airport
[00:23:04] transports passengers, experts, and materials, and the cargo
[00:23:07] center transports market products, and the industrial city
[00:23:11] transforms raw materials into value-added products.
[00:23:15] And the Damascus-Deir ez-Zor road,
[00:23:18] which is approximately 425
[00:23:21] kilometers long, connects production to local
[00:23:24] markets. As for the hospital, it supports
[00:23:27] the health infrastructure and increases the stability
[00:23:30] of competencies and human resources. The logistical impact
[00:23:33] starts from reducing travel time between Damascus
[00:23:36] and Deir ez-Zor from more than seven hours to
[00:23:40] about 25 to 45 minutes, pardon me,
[00:23:44] by saving 90% of the time. This means
[00:23:47] that any investor, engineer, doctor, or specialist
[00:23:51] can complete one business trip in one day
[00:23:55] instead of two days. Now, the airport will also be a gateway
[00:23:59] for exports from the eastern region.
[00:24:02] Deir ez-Zor possesses great agricultural wealth
[00:24:06] in addition to the most important oil and gas fields in Syria.
[00:24:09] The presence of an air cargo center allows for the export
[00:24:13] of high-value products more quickly and reduces
[00:24:16] the time it takes for them to reach regional markets, which
[00:24:20] increases the competitiveness of Syrian products.
[00:24:23] In addition, yes,
[00:24:26] please. In addition, the
[00:24:29] energy sector will be the biggest beneficiary. Deir ez-Zor
[00:24:33] includes the most important oil and gas fields in Syria.
[00:24:36] Therefore, any
[00:24:40] project that accelerates the arrival of maintenance
[00:24:44] teams, experts, and spare parts contributes directly to supporting
[00:24:47] the continuity of productivity and raising
[00:24:50] operational efficiency. Therefore, in my opinion, the true
[00:24:53] value
[00:24:56] measured by the number of flights alone, but by its ability to connect
[00:25:00] investments exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars and opening
[00:25:04] a new gateway for trade,
[00:25:06] industry, shipping, and investment, and that
[00:25:10] the eastern region transforms into an economic and
[00:25:13] logistical center that serves Syria
[00:25:16] and connects it to regional and international markets.
[00:25:58] will certainly play a very big
[00:26:01] role. The airport today represents
[00:26:04] one of the most important alternatives for internal transportation because it
[00:26:08] adds a new option to the Syrian transportation network
[00:26:12] land routes, especially for long journeys, such
[00:26:15] as between Damascus and the eastern region. Now,
[00:26:19] the difference is clear in the numbers because the land journey between Damascus
[00:26:22] and Deir ez-Zor takes seven hours, while
[00:26:25] the air journey takes 45
[00:26:27] minutes. This means that a citizen or anyone
[00:26:31] who wants to travel can complete their work in one day, but the importance
[00:26:35] of the airport is not limited to speed alone. It
[00:26:38] also extends to economic efficiency, meaning
[00:26:41] economically, every hour saved means a decrease in
[00:26:45] transportation costs and an increase in the productivity of individuals
[00:26:48] and companies. So, if there is an engineer working for an oil company
[00:26:52] or a specialized doctor, they can complete their tasks in one
[00:26:55] day and return to
[00:26:59] their country or to another governorate instead
[00:27:02] of spending two or three days. Therefore, I
[00:27:06] see the reopening of the airport as
[00:27:09] also diversifying means of transport in
[00:27:12] Syria, because modern economies do not rely on
[00:27:16] a single means of transport. They rely on an integrated network
[00:27:19] that includes roads, railways, airports, and ports.
[00:27:23] And the more these options are diversified, the more flexible
[00:27:27] and efficient the movement of people and goods becomes.
[00:27:30] Therefore, the project of the Damascus-Deir ez-Zor road,
[00:27:34] which costs 300 million dollars and is
[00:27:38] 425 kilometers long,
[00:27:41] also complements the role of the airport,
[00:27:44] but it does not compete with it, because the road will be the most suitable option for transporting
[00:27:48] heavy goods and large quantities,
[00:27:51] while air transport will be the fastest
[00:27:54] option for transporting passengers, cadres,
[00:27:58] individuals, medicines, spare parts,
[00:28:00] and high-value
[00:28:02] shipments.
[00:28:31] Deir ez-Zor, on the other hand, is
[00:28:35] an airport, Damascus-Deir
[00:28:39] ez-Zor, it serves what is called time economy,
[00:28:42] and the road and the airport together serve
[00:28:46] two different types of movement,
[00:28:49] meaning the international road is the optimal choice, as we said, for transporting
[00:28:53] grains, while the airport serves, so if you have
[00:28:56] both projects present together, it increases the efficiency of supply
[00:29:00] chains and raw materials. This system
[00:29:03] also supports the oil sector, just as the international
[00:29:06] road and the airport will support the industrial city project
[00:29:10] and the air cargo center and the industrial
[00:29:12] city, which needs to transport raw materials
[00:29:16] and an airport to accelerate the export of value-added
[00:29:20] products. Now, if we look at the complete
[00:29:24] picture, we find that the state is investing today
[00:29:27] in an integrated transport network that includes an international
[00:29:31] airport, an international road, an air cargo
[00:29:34] center, an industrial city,
[00:29:36] and health investments
[00:29:40] exceeding 321 dollars. All
[00:29:44] of these constitute economic integration.
[00:29:46] Therefore, I see that the true value of these projects is not in every
[00:29:50] the project on its own, but it is its ability to work as a single system
[00:29:54] that reduces transportation costs and increases the speed of trade movement
[00:29:57] and attracts investments and connects the eastern region
[00:30:01] with the rest of the governorates and regional markets
[00:30:51] It is clear that when His Excellency the President appears
[00:30:54] in a message or a recorded video
[00:30:58] and delivers a speech.
