[00:01:33] والمستثمرين.
[00:01:38] Today, we are witnessing the launch ceremony of the project
[00:01:42] to digitize and automate Syrian companies
[00:01:45] poles distributed along and agencies, whether local or foreign.
[00:01:48] Of course, this project represents a very
[00:01:51] fundamental point for the Syrian
[00:01:54] government, especially since this project
[00:01:57] was supported by the American government.
[00:02:00] The main goal is to attract
[00:02:02] safety in the late investments in this period, which is after the lifting
[00:02:05] of sanctions, and to build a healthy environment
[00:02:08] and an environment that invests and benefits
[00:02:11] from these investments. Of course, the issue
[00:02:14] of bureaucracy and paperwork was a very big obstacle
[00:02:18] for many companies to come and invest
[00:02:20] in Syria. So this
[00:02:23] Between a guiding signal on is a fundamental step that made many companies attracted
[00:02:26] to this step that Syria has taken. Of course, the project
[00:02:30] comes within the early recovery priorities set by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.
[00:02:34] It aims to support digital transformation
[00:02:37] in the Ministry of Industry, especially the issue of registering companies
[00:02:41] or branches of foreign companies and agencies.
[00:02:44] The project aims to provide a data
[00:02:46] center for the Ministry of Industry
[00:02:50] and Internal Trade and Consumer Protection. The Ministry will
[00:02:54] oversee the management and updating of internal
[00:02:57] systems, systems related to company registration. We will build on
[00:03:00] existing expertise and the platform that was launched to register
[00:03:05] should be smarter than the people. The people turned out to be smarter than local companies.
[00:03:07] There are similar projects. Tomorrow, God willing, we will also
[00:03:11] launch a similar project in digital
[00:03:14] transformation with the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment,
[00:03:18] the organizers of this aiming to archive and digitize the real estate registry in five governorates. Tomorrow, God willing,
[00:03:22] we will sign the memorandum of understanding and the contract.
[00:03:26] Of course, today we signed the memorandum of understanding and the executive contract
[00:03:30] for it. We began the procurement
[00:03:33] process for the data
[00:03:36] center, and within the procurement process, it is currently
[00:03:39] expected that within the next two to three months, we will be
[00:03:43] able to provide all
[00:03:45] the equipment.
[00:03:48] In turn, the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Abdul Salam
[00:03:51] Haikal, affirmed that the project to modernize and digitize company
[00:03:55] registration constitutes an important step in the digital transformation
[00:03:59] process, considering the company registry as one of the main
[00:04:02] national registries, alongside civil and real estate
[00:04:05] registries and vehicle registries, due to its direct link
[00:04:09] with citizens' lives and economic activities.
[00:04:12] Minister Haikal explained during his participation in the project
[00:04:15] launch ceremony that it includes the establishment
[00:04:20] the demands of the people of digital infrastructure and data centers, in integration
[00:04:23] with the projects implemented by the ministry, and contributes to providing an advanced
[00:04:27] digital environment that allows
[00:04:30] company owners to access services
[00:04:33] and complete their transactions easily and smoothly,
[00:04:36] stressing the importance of building on these efforts
[00:04:39] and expanding their scope during the upcoming
[00:04:44] told, from period. The activities of the Global Entrepreneurship
[00:04:47] Week in Quneitra governorate kicked off with the participation
[00:04:50] of entrepreneurs, programmers and engineers to discuss
[00:04:54] local challenges and develop technical and software solutions
[00:04:57] that contribute to launching entrepreneurial
[00:05:01] projects.
[00:05:05] For example, if a citizen comes to me and says, "I submitted my request, and it hasn't
[00:05:08] reached me yet," if it were archived in the work, he would have built several things, an interactive map.
[00:05:13] Today, more than 170 events are launched during the Global Week of Entrepreneurship.
[00:05:17] The week is usually from the 1st to the 5th of November
[00:05:20] every year. This is our second
[00:05:23] year in GW. This is the second year in Syria. Event number
[00:05:27] two was 2025, this is 2026, God willing. Today, here,
[00:05:30] we gathered entrepreneurs, technicians, and programmers
[00:05:34] to see what the problems and challenges
[00:05:36] are and turn them into technical solutions and startups
[00:05:40] under the slogan of entrepreneurs.
[00:05:43] Today, we are talking about the real estate market. Today, we
[00:05:46] need to put a tenant, and we are finding many activities. Harmoon is an activity
[00:05:50] that brings together investors and owners of software
[00:05:54] solutions, who have
[00:05:57] a step to find solutions to the problems existing
[00:05:59] socially, and between government institutions within
[00:06:03] the governorate that have many issues and obstacles they face,
[00:06:08] communicating with citizens and facilitating citizens' affairs.
[00:06:11] Our meeting today was to capture these problems. We
[00:06:14] as programmers want to capture these problems that exist at
[00:06:18] the directorates. We will work on them to find
[00:06:21] possible solutions, and among them, they will be entrepreneurial projects
[00:06:24] launched in the governorate to move the market and solve citizens' problems, and without
[00:06:28] excuses, within seconds, it will be ready. We are gathering
[00:06:32] today the directorates and engineers, recent graduates and veterans,
[00:06:36] to develop the technical reality in the governorate. We hope that the results will be fruitful
[00:06:39] and that we will have clear software solutions on the ground of the governorate.

[00:06:52] youth initiatives and stimulate emerging projects, as
[00:06:55] it brings together idea owners, entrepreneurs
[00:06:58] and those interested in economic affairs to discuss investment
[00:07:02] opportunities and overcome the challenges facing
[00:07:04] small
[00:07:06] projects.
[00:07:12] It possesses human capital of youth and competencies. We are happy
[00:07:15] today in Daraa governorate to host
[00:07:18] the Global Entrepreneurship Week. There is no doubt that
[00:07:22] Hauran and Daraa governorate are fertile ground
[00:07:26] for youth and opportunities, and constitute a great
[00:07:29] opportunity for pioneering youth in their ideas and their work.

[00:07:40] Authority in Daraa governorate, to participate in ideas and listen
[00:07:44] to youth, and also to select some pioneering

[00:07:57] conference, we are part of the Global Entrepreneurship
[00:08:00] Week. We dedicated the first day to entrepreneurship
[00:08:04] and investment. The main goal is to connect entrepreneurs
[00:08:07] with investors and funders for these
[00:08:10] projects. Now, we aim not only for launching, but also for expansion at a later stage.
[00:08:14] We offer financing models for the entrepreneur so that
[00:08:17] he can launch his real project on the ground, expand it
[00:08:21] to realize the fruit of this pioneering idea
[00:08:23] within him.
[00:08:26] This means spending their time in the field of love. I would like to thank
[00:08:31] event who gave us the opportunity to present
[00:08:34] and display the pioneering ideas that were presented today. A large number
[00:08:38] of pioneering ideas were presented that can contribute
[00:08:44] to attracting foreign investors or building
[00:08:47] real projects on the ground within the Syrian Arab
[00:08:51] Republic, in the work of the Reconciliation and Success Forum. Peace be upon you.
[00:09:04] In the framework of efforts aimed at promoting the culture of human
[00:09:08] rights and consolidating the principles of transitional justice in Syria,
[00:09:12] a training course for Syrian lawyers was launched at the Al-Safir
[00:09:16] Hotel in Homs city, aiming to develop their legal
[00:09:20] knowledge and enhance their role in protecting rights
[00:09:23] and freedoms.
[00:09:27] Of course, we all know that
[00:09:30] today, the High Commissioner
[00:09:33] for Human Rights, in cooperation with the Bar Association of the Syrian Arab Republic
[00:09:36] and the Homs Bar Association, is organizing a training workshop.
[00:09:40] This workshop aims to
[00:09:43] enhance the protection of human rights in Syria, in addition to
[00:09:46] transitional justice in Syria. This is very important. It is
[00:09:50] the struggle waged by activists who documented
[00:09:54] the regime's violations during the revolution, and it is a continuation
[00:09:58] of cooperation to enhance the human rights situation
[00:10:01] in Syria. We commend today the role of the Bar Association of the Syrian
[00:10:05] Arab Republic for this openness and cooperation with the mechanisms
[00:10:08] and the Human Rights Council, the High Commissioner for Human
[00:10:11] Rights. The course will last for
[00:10:14] three days. The first two days are for a specific group, and
[00:10:18] on the third of the month, there will be
[00:10:21] a discussion session, and on the 6th and 5th, there will be a second course for
[00:10:25] others in international law. Of course,
[00:10:28] since we took over our duties in the Central
[00:10:31] Bar Association, we have set a plan to develop the profession
[00:10:35] and elevate it and raise its level. This
[00:10:38] led us to sign
[00:10:42] UN organizations, and there was a memorandum
[00:10:45] of understanding between us and the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
[00:10:48] The goal is to raise
[00:10:52] This training was held in Damascus
[00:10:55] and Aleppo, and currently we are in Homs governorate.
[00:10:58] The target audience is a segment of male
[00:11:01] and female lawyers from Homs city. Of course, the nomination
[00:11:05] of names for this training is done through
[00:11:08] the Homs Bar Association Council from the Department of Accountability
[00:11:12] and Oversight.
[00:11:15] Hello, work continues on installing lighting units in the streets of
[00:11:18] Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods in Aleppo city, as
[00:11:21] the project reaches its final stage, which contributes
[00:11:25] to improving basic services within residential areas.
[00:11:29] Let's follow. Work continues on lighting
[00:11:32] the streets of Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods with solar
[00:11:35] energy, as the project reaches its final stage,
[00:11:39] which includes installing
[00:11:42] equipped poles.
[00:11:44] We have currently
[00:11:46] started the final phase of the street lighting project with solar
[00:11:50] energy. The project, which is being implemented by the Stability
[00:11:53] Support Unit, in cooperation with Aleppo governorate
[00:11:57] and the Lighting Department in Aleppo, with the support of the RASHAD
[00:12:00] program funded by the US State Department. This project aims to
[00:12:04] install approximately 200
[00:12:07] solar-powered lighting
[00:12:10] the main and secondary streets in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods,
[00:12:14] covering a distance of approximately 6
[00:12:17] km. The project aims to enhance
[00:12:21] security and traffic safety, in addition to
[00:12:23] enhancing traffic
[00:12:27] hours of the night.
[00:12:30] Well, we benefit from this. First, there was no lighting. When there
[00:12:34] is no lighting in the streets, people are afraid
[00:12:37] to go out at night after 8:30. After it gets
[00:12:41] dark, no one can go out of their house. Now it's
[00:12:44] better.
[00:12:47] The initiative is good, but it's better to have it in secondary
[00:12:51] streets. Now there is no lighting at all in secondary streets.
[00:12:55] For example, in some streets, at 10
[00:12:57] or 9:30, people go home because it's dark. The main
[00:13:01] streets are fine, but there should
[00:13:04] also be lighting in the secondary streets. This has created a sense
[00:13:07] of safety and stability. For example, at night, one can now go out.
[00:13:11] Before, we used to go out at night in the dark and turn on the flashlight
[00:13:14] and walk with it, you know? Now it's better.
[00:13:17] Now,
[00:13:20] viewers, let's move on to the economic tour and the latest

[00:23:34] Welcome to the Syrian Story podcast on Al-Ikhbariya
[00:23:37] TV.
[00:23:40] The most painful thing
[00:23:43] for me was when someone told me to stop the barrel bomb first, then
[00:23:47] talk to me about freedom. There should have been an interim government,
[00:23:51] a military council, a judicial council. No one
[00:23:55] everyone. On the basis of my dead family, they knew I was dead. They held a condolence
[00:23:58] for me. They came to visit me in Tadmur after 20 years
[00:24:01] for preparations for the attempted coup against
[00:24:04] Hafez al-Assad. How did you expose it? Oh, what should we do? I told him, "This
[00:24:08] is the first time we've met. Read your adhkar." By God, I don't know what we should do. I expected
[00:24:12] the revolution to come from Hasakah, I mean. I apologize
[00:24:16] if I am in this episode today, we want to revisit the tragic memories
[00:24:21] and stories. We wanted to convey the pains
[00:24:25] of Syrians, their dreams, and their aspirations
[00:24:27] through colors. The Syrian Story
[00:24:30] podcast at 9 PM on
[00:24:33] Friday on Al-Ikhbariya Syrian TV.
[00:24:46] With the dawn of morning,
[00:24:49] thousands of stories and news are born
[00:24:53] that shape the day and touch people's
[00:24:56] lives.
[00:25:06] What's happening
[00:25:09] and what you need
[00:25:10] to know.
[00:25:15] We read the headlines, discuss the most important issues.
[00:25:20] And we bring you a concentrated
[00:25:23] summary.
[00:25:29] We get closer to the stories that deserve to be
[00:25:34] economics and services to humanitarian
[00:25:36] initiatives,
[00:25:40] to bring you their full details this morning,
[00:25:44] where the story begins on Al-Ikhbariya Syrian
[00:25:47] TV.
[00:25:55] Because the distance between the street and decision-makers
[00:25:58] is a wall that hides the truth, we are here,
[00:26:05] and everywhere that buzzes with questions
[00:26:08] and problems,
[00:26:13] to carry the voice
[00:26:14] of the people,
[00:26:20] and search for a space for solutions with decision-makers.
[00:26:23] القرار
[00:26:29] A link that shortens the distance
[00:26:33] and bridges the gap, because
[00:26:37] your voice is the compass.
[00:28:07] This is a stand for survival and to confirm that we
[00:28:10] are clinging to this land and will never leave
[00:28:13] it.
[00:28:18] The tone
[00:28:27] to confirm that Syria is one and united,
[00:28:30] and the Syrian people
[00:29:03] We are all one people, all Syrian governorates are one, and the Syrian
[00:29:06] people are one, and we are against Israeli interventions.
[00:30:05] In light of the fluctuating exchange rate of the Syrian pound against the dollar and rising
[00:30:09] prices in the market, what is the role played by
[00:30:12] the relevant ministries to control prices
[00:30:15] and prevent exploitation in a free
[00:30:19] and open market? What are
[00:30:22] from the relevant ministry, and how
[00:30:24] does all of this reflect on commodity prices? All
[00:30:28] this and more details in a new episode of the "Connection" program. Welcome.
[00:30:46] We want to ask you about the issue of prices and controlling them in this market, and in general,
[00:30:49] your follow-up. By God, it's very
[00:30:53] expensive. Day by day, week by week, we are all
[00:30:56] getting higher. I mean.
