[00:16:54] which necessitated their transfer to hospitals and health
[00:16:57] centers to receive the necessary treatment,
[00:17:01] where the injured received necessary first aid
[00:17:04] at the National Hospital and Al-Huwadi Hospital.
[00:17:08] The Deir ez-Zor Health Directorate said that it was

[00:18:40] restaurants in the governorate and taking necessary
[00:18:44] measures against violators. The Minister of Communications
[00:18:48] and Information Technology, Abdel Salam Heikal, affirmed
[00:18:50] that the project
[00:19:00] step in the digital transformation process,
[00:19:03] given that the companies' register is one of the main
[00:19:06] national registers, in addition to civil, real
[00:19:09] estate, and vehicle registers, due to its direct
[00:19:13] link with citizens' lives and economic
[00:19:17] Today we are witnessing the launch ceremony of the project
[00:19:21] to digitize and automate Syrian companies
[00:19:24] and agencies, whether local or foreign.
[00:19:27] Of course, this project represents a very
[00:19:30] fundamental point for the Syrian government,
[00:19:34] especially since this project
[00:19:38] government. The primary goal is to attract
[00:19:40] investments
[00:19:44] the lifting of sanctions and to build a healthy
[00:19:48] environment, an environment that benefits from these
[00:19:51] investments. Of course, bureaucracy and paperwork
[00:19:54] were a very big obstacle for many
[00:19:57] companies to be able to come and invest
[00:20:01] in Syria. So this is a fundamental step that made many
[00:20:05] companies attracted to this step taken
[00:20:08] by Syria. Now, of course, the project
[00:20:12] falls within the early recovery priorities
[00:20:15] set by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.
[00:20:20] digital transformation in the Ministry of Industry,
[00:20:24] specifically the registration of companies or branches
[00:20:27] of foreign companies and agencies. The project
[00:20:30] aims to provide a data center
[00:20:34] for the Ministry of Industry, Internal Trade and Consumer
[00:20:37] Protection. The Ministry will supervise the management
[00:20:40] and modernization of internal systems, systems related
[00:20:44] to company registration. We will build on existing
[00:20:47] expertise and the platform that was launched for the registration
[00:20:50] of local companies. There are similar
[00:20:53] projects. Tomorrow,
[00:20:56] God willing, we will also launch a similar
[00:20:59] project in digital transformation with the Ministry
[00:21:03] of Local Administration and Environment.
[00:21:05] It aims to archive
[00:21:08] and digitize the real estate registry in five
[00:21:11] governorates. Tomorrow, God willing, we will sign
[00:21:15] the memorandum of understanding and the contract. Of course,

[00:23:23] to the European banking system, where the governor
[00:23:26] of the bank, Safwat Raslan, held a series
[00:23:29] of intensive meetings in the French capital,
[00:23:32] Paris, with representatives of major banks and international
[00:23:36] and European institutions to discuss enhancing
[00:23:39] cooperation channels,
[00:23:41] developing banking
[00:23:44] relations, and facilitating trade financing.
[00:23:48] A major strategic shift is being recorded
[00:23:51] by the Syrian banking sector from the heart
[00:23:55] of the French capital, Paris, where the Governor
[00:23:58] of the Central Bank of Syria, Safwat Raslan, is laying
[00:24:01] the cornerstone for reconnecting Syria to the European
[00:24:05] and international banking system in a round of talks
[00:24:08] that is the first of its kind in more
[00:24:12] than 15 years. On the discussion tables
[00:24:15] in the French capital, Governor Raslan met
[00:24:19] with representatives of major international and European
[00:24:22] institutions and banks, including the Bank of France,
[00:24:25] First Abu Dhabi Bank, and Al Khaliji France Bank.
[00:24:29] Financial and banking discussions whose clear and obvious goal
[00:24:32] is to reconnect Syria to the European banking
[00:24:36] system, expand the network of correspondent banks,
[00:24:39] facilitate trade financing, and develop payment
[00:24:43] and international transfer channels. These movements,
[00:24:46] although one of their aspects is technical, represent
[00:24:51] a regional and international message of confidence
[00:24:54] in the start of the economic cycle's recovery
[00:24:57] and its return to safe flows, as the discussions
[00:25:00] were not limited to banks
[00:25:03] to include intensive meetings with the French
[00:25:07] Financial Intelligence Unit. On the same
[00:25:10] note, the Director of International Cooperation at the Anti-Money
[00:25:14] Laundering Authority, Shafiq Al-Dali, confirmed
[00:25:16] that Syria is on the right track in implementing
[00:25:20] the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force,
[00:25:23] revealing a pivotal
[00:25:26] by the start of the mutual evaluation of Syria's
[00:25:29] system next mid-year, in preparation for
[00:25:33] considering its removal from the grey list,
[00:25:36] supported by praise from the Financial Action Task
[00:25:40] Force for the Middle East and North Africa region.
[00:25:44] In short, it is the beginning of the end of financial
[00:25:47] isolation and the new birth of a Syrian regulatory and banking
[00:25:51] system that is preparing
[00:25:53] to regain the confidence
[00:25:56] of local and international investors, and to enforce
[00:25:59] financial rule of law on the global stage.
[00:26:02] The Syrian Academy for Media concluded the work
[00:26:05] of the national campaign
[00:26:07] "The Word Builds,"
[00:26:13] with the Ministry of Information and the United Nations
[00:26:16] Development Programme (UNDP). After about a month
[00:26:19] of activities, the Syrian Academy for Media concluded
[00:26:23] the work of the national campaign "The Word Builds,"
[00:26:26] which it launched in partnership with the Ministry of Information
[00:26:30] and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Academy
[00:26:34] Director, Ibrahim Al-Sharif, explained that the campaign
[00:26:37] was keen to deliver comprehensive messages that
[00:26:40] take into account the diversity of Syrian society and
[00:26:43] promote a culture of dialogue and responsibility
[00:26:46] in public discourse, with an emphasis on
[00:26:48] the importance of verifying information, respecting
[00:26:52] differences in viewpoints, and raising awareness
[00:26:55] of the difference between freedom of expression
[00:26:59] out that expressing opinions and criticism
[00:27:02] is a guaranteed right, but it loses
[00:27:05] its responsible character when it turns into
[00:27:09] incitement to hatred. The campaign extended
[00:27:13] to more than 10 governorates and achieved more
[00:27:16] than 24 million views on social media platforms.
[00:27:20] Al-Sharif noted that the monitoring and follow-up
[00:27:23] operations carried out by the Academy during
[00:27:26] the campaign period documented 70 separate
[00:27:30] media materials across
[00:27:32] 21 entities and publishing platforms,
[00:27:35] including 61 materials related to the campaign
[00:27:38] and the project, in addition to 28 reposting
[00:27:42] operations, bringing the total number of monitoring
[00:27:46] records to 119. In light of the rapid
[00:27:49] spread of digital content and the development
[00:27:53] of its production and dissemination methods,
[00:27:56] the campaign aimed to raise awareness of the dangers
[00:28:00] of hate speech and misinformation, and to establish responsible
[00:28:04] practices in the dissemination of content through media
[00:28:17] outlets and social media platforms, and to make
[00:28:20] journalists and content creators aware of their
[00:28:24] responsibilities. The installation of lighting
[00:28:27] units in the streets of Ashrafieh and Sheikh
[00:28:30] Maqsoud neighborhoods
[00:28:32] in Aleppo city continues
[00:28:36] as the project reaches its final stage,
[00:28:39] which contributes to improving basic
[00:28:43] services within residential neighborhoods. The installation
[00:28:46] of lighting units
[00:28:48] on equipped poles
[00:28:51] continues. We have now started the final phase of the street
[00:28:54] lighting project with solar energy. The project
[00:28:58] is being implemented by the Stability Support
[00:29:02] Unit in cooperation with Aleppo
[00:29:07] with support from the Rashid program funded by the US
[00:29:10] Department of State. This project aims
[00:29:15] 200 solar-powered lighting poles distributed
[00:29:18] on the main and secondary streets in Sheikh Maqsoud
[00:29:22] and Ashrafieh neighborhoods, covering a distance of approximately
[00:29:25] 6 km. The project aims to enhance security
[00:29:28] and traffic safety,
[00:29:31] traffic safety in the late
[00:29:35] hours of the night. Well, we benefit from this,
[00:29:39] first of all, there was no lighting. When there are
[00:29:42] no streets, people are afraid, no one dares to go out
[00:29:45] at night after 8:30 PM. After that, no one
[00:29:49] can dare to leave their
[00:29:52] house. So this is better. This is a good initiative,
[00:29:56] but it would be better if there were lights
[00:29:59] in the side streets. There is no lighting
[00:30:05] in the main streets, but there are in the main ones,
[00:30:09] it's in the branch also there is safety
[00:30:12] and stability, for example, at night one can go out, you know, we used to
[00:30:16] go out at night, it was dark we would turn on the flashlight and walk
[00:30:28] promoting the culture of human rights and consolidating
[00:30:31] the principles of justice, transitional justice in Syria,
[00:30:34] a training course for Syrian
[00:30:37] lawyers began at the Safir Hotel in Homs city,
[00:30:40] aiming to develop their legal knowledge
[00:30:44] and enhance their role in protecting rights
[00:30:47] and freedoms.
[00:30:50] Of course, today, we all know that
[00:30:53] the document
[00:30:56] is organized today by the High Commissioner for Human Rights in cooperation with the Bar Association.
