[00:00:07] actually put in a wonderful effort, including the
[00:00:08] overcome Syrian network in the context of this documentation.
[00:00:11] This is ultimately a national
[00:00:13] time, this requires Syrian property that we need and we are investing in it
[00:00:16] to do justice to the victims and prosecute the criminals. I apologize to
[00:00:19] Professor Muhammad Khalifa, he has returned to us.
[00:00:22] recovery path that Syria Briefly, because time is pressing, we need to talk
[00:00:25] about how to pursue
[00:00:28] fugitives and those who
[00:00:32] are facing charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in
[00:00:35] other countries. How can they be prosecuted today?
[00:00:37] As
[00:00:40] reinforces this my colleague, Professor
[00:00:41] Therefore, I believe that Syrians Radif, said, regarding the criminals
[00:00:44] of Bashar al-Assad's regime, Bashar al-Assad
[00:00:48] continuous logistical and they fled to a country that does not respect
[00:00:51] international law and does not respect humanity.
[00:00:55] It is known that even
[00:00:57] the Russian President is wanted by the International
[00:01:00] Criminal Court on charges of committing war crimes.
[00:01:04] However, what is required now from the Syrian courts, especially the
[00:01:07] and these are our legislations, Fourth Criminal Court, is to issue sentences, even
[00:01:10] in absentia, and circulate them through Interpol
[00:01:13] so that they are
[00:01:15] Countries ultimately circulated to all countries of the world.
[00:01:17] deal with other countries So,
[00:01:19] based on interests. expertise to develop its regarding the extradition
[00:01:21] emergencies and reduce of these criminals, if they leave
[00:01:25] Russia, they can be
[00:01:29] arrested by Interpol through the European Union
[00:01:33] this support despite and handed over
[00:01:36] Tamam. Syria is participating in to the Syrian government. However, as I mentioned
[00:01:38] earlier, Interpol
[00:01:41] today in this requires a fair trial, as is currently taking place
[00:01:44] before the Fourth Criminal Court
[00:01:47] in Damascus, where trial proceedings
[00:01:49] are conducted publicly
[00:01:51] meetings, especially with and transparently, and the accused has the right to...
[00:01:54] Sorry, due to lack of time, I would like to thank
[00:01:59] and recovery requires this type of Professor Muhammad Khalifa for international law. Also, thanks to
[00:02:02] my guest here in the studio, Professor Radif Mustafa, member of the National
[00:02:05] Commission for Transitional Justice and Director of the Accountability Department.
[00:02:09] Thank you very much for your presence with us.
[00:02:17] affect the
[00:02:20] In our second file, Syria reaffirms
[00:02:25] occur here. Therefore, its presence in international forums concerned with civil protection and disaster
[00:02:28] management. The participation
[00:02:30] in the ninth edition of the European Civil Protection Forum
[00:02:33] in Brussels carried a vision
[00:02:36] to enhance cooperation, exchange expertise, and develop
[00:02:39] emergency response capabilities. In parallel, Damascus opens a dialogue with
[00:02:43] European institutions on economic cooperation and support for
[00:02:48] is also of recovery and capacity building during a session that discussed the transition
[00:02:51] of political relations towards a long-term strategic partnership
[00:02:54] that goes beyond traditional frameworks, as well as investment
[00:02:58] files and regional connectivity, humanitarian challenges,
[00:03:01] transitional justice, refugee return, and enhancing
[00:03:05] its ability to respond and recover.
[00:03:08] our positions, whether
[00:03:16] in international
[00:03:27] From the Belgian capital, Brussels, I attended the ninth edition of
[00:03:31] the European Civil Protection Forum, which was held under
[00:03:34] the slogan "Ready Today, Prepared for Tomorrow."
[00:03:37] The delegation of the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management
[00:03:41] was headed by Assistant Minister Ahmed Aqziz in a participation
[00:03:44] that aims to enhance cooperation in the fields of civil protection
[00:03:47] and disaster management, exchange expertise,
[00:03:50] and learn about European experiences in developing
[00:03:53] emergency response capabilities and reducing disaster risks.
[00:03:58] possible state, Nadia? This question The forum is the most prominent platform for the European Civil Protection
[00:04:00] community, bringing together policymakers, civil protection authorities,
[00:04:04] first response teams, and workers in this field,
[00:04:08] should negotiate on behalf of the people. The people along with relevant parties from
[00:04:11] this relationship with various parts of Europe and beyond. Participation
[00:04:13] the Americans? in Brussels comes within a broader path of presence in
[00:04:16] specialized international forums, where a delegation from
[00:04:18] the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management participated
[00:04:23] of utmost in the twelfth meeting of the And Khanitrah are an integral Arab Partnership for Disaster Risk Reduction, which was hosted
[00:04:27] by the Tunisian capital. Organized by the United
[00:04:30] Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction,
[00:04:33] with the participation of representatives from Arab countries,
[00:04:37] regional and international organizations, and relevant partners. The Ministry of
[00:04:40] Emergency and Disaster Management also participated in a regional
[00:04:44] workshop that discussed explosive weapons in populated
[00:04:47] areas, and the Convention on the Prohibition or
[00:04:50] Restriction of the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons,
[00:04:53] in addition to autonomous weapons systems.
[00:04:56] In parallel with this presence in emergency and disaster management,
[00:05:00] Damascus opened a dialogue with European institutions in search
[00:05:04] of broader cooperation prospects. In this context,
[00:05:07] the Director of the European Affairs Department at the Ministry of
[00:05:11] Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Sally Shubat, and the Director of
[00:05:15] the Diplomatic Institute, Yasser Al-Jundi, participated in a
[00:05:18] dialogue session with a delegation from the European Council on Foreign
[00:05:21] Relations to discuss ways to develop political dialogue towards
[00:05:25] a long-term strategic partnership.
[00:05:28] The discussions covered opportunities for economic cooperation and addressing
[00:05:32] obstacles facing investment, the repercussions of excessive
[00:05:35] compliance with sanctions, in addition to activating
[00:05:39] Syria's role in regional connectivity for trade and energy, and supporting
[00:05:43] recovery efforts and enhancing institutional capabilities. The discussions
[00:05:46] also included files of transitional justice, missing persons,
[00:05:49] and creating the necessary conditions for the voluntary, safe,
[00:05:53] and dignified return of refugees, as well as coordinating positions
[00:05:56] on regional developments and the repercussions of Israeli
[00:05:59] aggressions, and expanding direct communication channels between
[00:06:03] national institutions and European research centers. This meeting comes after
[00:06:06] discussions held by the Director of the European Affairs Department
[00:06:10] with the Chargé d'Affaires ad interim of the Republic of Cyprus, Sefak
[00:06:13] Afedian, who discussed ways to enhance bilateral relations between
[00:06:17] Syria and Cyprus, develop prospects for joint cooperation,
[00:06:21] and exchange views on issues of common interest in a
[00:06:23] world tested by disasters and crises. Syria is moving
[00:06:26] to enhance its readiness, benefiting from international
[00:06:31] capabilities to respond to
[00:06:34] disaster risks. To talk more,
[00:06:37] we are joined from Washington
[00:06:41] by journalist Tamam
[00:06:45] Al-Jassem. Welcome, Mr.
[00:06:48] the European Civil Protection Forum. What is the importance
[00:06:51] of this participation
[00:06:54] forum? My greetings to you, Nadia,
[00:06:58] and to the viewers of Syrian News. The importance of such
[00:07:03] the European side, perhaps lies in the fact that
[00:07:06] Syria is in a state of recovery,
[00:07:11] partnership and not to be
[00:07:14] one-sided. For example, today Syria
[00:07:17] has built good relations with the United States of
[00:07:21] America, but we saw what
[00:07:24] happened in the House of Representatives yesterday with
[00:07:28] the elections, which may course or
[00:07:31] set conditions, etc., of these matters that may
[00:07:37] it is important to build a recovery
[00:07:40] path that provides sufficient guarantees
[00:07:44] without deep and fundamental setbacks
[00:07:46] affecting it. From here, I believe that such
[00:07:50] a relationship that Syria is opening with the European
[00:07:53] Union, which has historical and geographical
[00:07:57] relations with Syria, importance
[00:08:01] and will benefit the recovery path that Syria
[00:08:05] has adopted. Therefore, I think it is
[00:08:08] a good step. Europe wants Syria's stability.
[00:08:12] Europe has old partnerships with Syria.
[00:08:16] Therefore, this path, the path of relationship with
[00:08:19] Europe, may be in
[00:08:22] the interest of both parties and will greatly
[00:08:26] help Syrian economic growth, thanks to
[00:08:29] European expertise,
[00:08:31] which is well-known, of course. Indeed, Europe
[00:08:35] has many indicators that show its interest in
[00:08:38] Syria's stability, especially since there are issues that concern
[00:08:42] it, such as the return of Syrian refugees
[00:08:45] to their country voluntarily and safely. But what
[00:08:49] steps can be taken? How can Syria benefit more
[00:08:52] from these international meetings and forums?
[00:08:56] What should Syria offer to ensure that
[00:09:00] the process of exchange
[00:09:03] of interests and expertise is
[00:09:06] in the best
[00:09:10] was probably raised when relations with the United States of
[00:09:14] America began to take clear shape here.
[00:09:17] And this question was asked: What is required of Syria
[00:09:21] to offer for
[00:09:25] Today, the same question is raised
[00:09:28] regarding the relationship with Europe and charting
[00:09:31] the path of recovery. I believe that it is
[00:09:36] importance that Syria has clear
[00:09:39] development plans.
[00:09:43] Because, as you know, these people, whether
[00:09:46] Europeans, Americans, or even in the
[00:09:50] East, China, need clear
[00:09:53] paths with specific
[00:09:57] legal matters and specific
[00:10:00] regulatory matters presented to them so that
[00:10:03] these partnerships have no obstacles. They
[00:10:07] understand, of course, that Syria is emerging from
[00:10:10] a long war crisis, and so
[00:10:13] on. The regime
[00:10:16] contributed to the destruction of the country, and therefore, even the
[00:10:19] infrastructure and perhaps the legal
[00:10:23] and many other issues need to be rebuilt.
[00:10:26] Therefore, they realize
[00:10:28] that and are trying to
[00:10:33] this shortcoming. But at the same
[00:10:38] the Syrian side to provide a clear,
[00:10:42] comprehensive vision for the
[00:10:47] wants, and so that the other party
[00:10:50] does not exploit what it wants from Syria,
[00:10:54] what it wants from this relationship. Meaning that
[00:10:57] you present your idea better than someone else
[00:11:01] coming and presenting an idea that might be in their interest.
[00:11:06] need to build a vision
[00:11:09] for the Syrian situation, a comprehensive economic vision that includes all
[00:11:12] sectors, includes all matters that
[00:11:16] we need in this country for development and recovery,
[00:11:19] so that it is clear to the world, not just to Europeans, but to the world
[00:11:23] at large, that this is our comprehensive
[00:11:26] developmental and planned project,
[00:11:29] and these are our laws,
[00:11:32] and this is our work on the ground that benefits Syrians
[00:11:36] and consequently benefits this relationship.
[00:11:44] What benefits me and benefits you
[00:11:47] is the basis on which state relations are built,
[00:11:51] not on emotional matters, we can say.
[00:11:55] So, what is delaying
[00:11:58] the continuous statements about the importance
[00:12:02] and necessity of support, and that there is
[00:12:05] support for government measures in Syria, but
[00:12:09] we don't see tangible support on the ground? What is delaying
[00:12:11] it? We cannot say that
[00:12:15] we don't see tangible support. We can say that it
[00:12:18] needs time for the other party to understand
[00:12:22] the nature of the situation in Syria and deal with it.
[00:12:25] Lack of electricity, lack of infrastructure, lack of roads, all
[00:12:29] of these hinder projects if European companies, if
[00:12:32] American companies or even international
[00:12:35] legal institutions, etc.,
[00:12:39] want to come to Syria, they set these
[00:12:43] rules and foundations for their arrival, safety,
[00:12:46] etc. All these matters are put before them so that
[00:12:49] they can say, "Well, Syria today is ready for
[00:12:53] companies to come, for international institutions to establish themselves
[00:12:57] in Syria and start cooperation with it." So, all these
[00:13:00] matters may take time.
[00:13:03] We have seen, for example, an improvement in the electricity sector. Electricity
[00:13:06] has become an essential commodity in
[00:13:10] all countries of the world for any development. I am talking, yes, I am talking about
[00:13:13] European support. You, of course,
[00:13:17] there are many changes that Syria is witnessing,
[00:13:21] but in terms of real support that contributes to
[00:13:24] the economic recovery of the country. Allow me to welcome
[00:13:28] my guest, Dr. Yasser Al-Hussein, academic and economic
[00:13:31] researcher, joining us from Aleppo. Welcome, Dr.
[00:13:34] Yasser. So, on the same point, how can these
[00:13:38] Syrian participations
[00:13:41] forums, especially with
[00:13:44] European institutions, how can they be transformed
[00:13:47] into real support that contributes to Syria's economic
[00:13:51] recovery? Good evening,
[00:13:55] Nadia, and all viewers. Of course,
[00:13:58] we are now talking about Syria in
[00:14:01] a state of recovery
[00:14:04] and moving towards the economy and investment
[00:14:07] in Syria. So, any meeting in any
[00:14:11] community or any
[00:14:13] economic activity
[00:14:16] or anything that falls into this direction
[00:14:19] can be said to be an enhancement
[00:14:23] of this trend that the Syrian
[00:14:27] state is pursuing in relation
[00:14:30] to the fact that we are
[00:14:33] engaging with the global economy
[00:14:36] significantly because we genuinely
[00:14:40] need, we in Syria need to
[00:14:43] be integrated into the external
[00:14:46] economic reality. So, whether it is the European
[00:14:49] Union or others, as for the specificity of the European Union,
[00:14:53] working with it is very good. Why? Because
[00:14:57] the European Union is truly known to everyone
[00:15:00] to have very good experience in the economic
[00:15:03] field, in economic partnership fields, and in providing
[00:15:07] expertise that they have acquired during
[00:15:11] an advanced period compared to developing countries, and we
[00:15:15] are from developing countries. So, any
[00:15:17] cooperation with these countries, especially
[00:15:21] the European Union, is truly an enhancement
[00:15:24] of the recovery in Syria. The areas
[00:15:27] that can be started in, or
[00:15:31] that we have started in, or that can be
[00:15:34] jointly pursued, are truly vital and important for the launch
[00:15:38] of the economic development wheel, the reconstruction wheel, and the recovery
[00:15:41] wheel. We are now in need of these agreements. Therefore,
[00:15:45] I see it as essential that there is always
[00:15:48] openness from the Syrian state and a search
[00:15:51] for any investment opportunity that can
[00:15:55] clarify the reality of the Syrian
[00:15:58] situation, which now
[00:16:02] wants to take off, and the goals
[00:16:05] that the state seeks
[00:16:08] in the recovery phase. So, any meeting with any
[00:16:11] international party, especially the European Union
[00:16:15] and developed countries,
[00:16:17] trend of the Syrian state. Yes, yes,
[00:16:21] thank you very much,
[00:16:23] Professor
[00:16:25] Tamam Al-Jassem, you were with us from Washington, the journalist,
[00:16:29] and thanks also to Dr.
[00:16:31] Hussein with us, Dr. Yasser Al-Hussein, excuse me,
[00:16:35] the academic and economic researcher, you were with us from Aleppo. Thank you,
[00:16:37] and with this, dear viewers, we have come to the end of this
[00:16:41] news hour. Thank you for your kind follow-up. Goodbye.
[00:17:37] We truly welcome the President and his accompanying delegation,
[00:17:41] and this is an affirmation of the strength and resilience
[00:17:45] of the relationship between Iraq and Syria, and we hope
[00:17:48] this is a good beginning for future strategic
[00:17:51] projects, God willing.
[00:17:57] There are very strong historical ties between the two countries, and there are also
[00:18:00] economic ties.
[00:18:09] We are very happy with this warm
[00:18:12] welcome, and we see that your
[00:18:16] hearts have met us before your eyes. Geography says
[00:18:20] the neighbor is the closest home, but wisdom
[00:18:23] says the closest blood, and we hope that the blood of Iraq
[00:18:27] and Syria is one blood, and perhaps our blood has increased,
[00:18:30] because we are one with you, God willing, one people
[00:18:34] living in two countries, and we want to revive
[00:18:38] our history, we want to restore economic
[00:18:41] cooperation, political cooperation, unite
[00:18:46] at the Arab or Islamic world
[00:18:49] level. Your security is our security,
[00:18:52] and vice versa. And God willing,
[00:18:55] we will soon await your arrival to honor
[00:18:58] us in your second country, and you will
[00:19:02] be the hosts and we will be the guests.
[00:19:03] May God protect you.
[00:19:10] It is very important to capitalize on your presence
[00:19:13] today in your second country, Damascus,
[00:19:17] to start a roadmap that we hope will be long and sustainable.
[00:19:46] The people have changed their nationality, their mentality
[00:19:49] has been liberated. They do not accept any brutal Israeli
[00:19:52] incursion.
[00:19:59] part of Syria. We will not allow
[00:20:02] any harm
[00:20:06] to it.
[00:20:09] Syria is free and will remain
[00:20:10] free.

[00:20:20] are one.
[00:20:27] A training journey that shapes
[00:20:30] personality.
[00:20:35] A path that forges
[00:20:40] steel. Behind this discipline is continuous
[00:20:44] guidance and follow-up.
[00:20:51] They chose the challenge at a young age
[00:20:54] to hone their determination through experience.
[00:20:57] Youthful energies are invested,
[00:21:00] guided, and trained
[00:21:06] to transform strength into awareness and challenge
[00:21:09] into
[00:21:10] commitment.

[00:23:05] and disaster workshops to rehabilitate and repair the earthen
[00:23:08] bridge.
[00:23:12] We are in the final stages of the rehabilitation work on the

[00:27:33] The training is designed so that volunteers
[00:27:37] act as auxiliary teams for civil defense and the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management.
[00:29:54] Welcome, dear viewers, to this news hour, which we begin
[00:29:58] with a summary of the most important news. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
[00:30:01] and Expatriates confirmed that the visit of President Ahmed Al-Shara to the Kingdom
[00:30:04] of Saudi Arabia constituted an important
[00:30:08] station for strengthening bilateral relations and developing
[00:30:11] joint cooperation. The Ministry stated in a statement that the visit, which
[00:30:14] took place on the fourth of November, witnessed discussions
[00:30:17] on regional and international issues and ways to
[00:30:21] de-escalate. It also culminated in the signing of a military
[00:30:24] cooperation agreement and memorandums of understanding
[00:30:28] covering industrial, agricultural, environmental,
[00:30:31] infrastructure, and financial services
[00:30:34] sectors.
[00:30:40] The Higher Education and Scientific Research Committee in the People's Assembly discussed
[00:30:44] a number of files, most notably the file of faculty members
[00:30:47] who were absent for revolutionary reasons, the file of delegates,
[00:30:51] and the university regulation law during a meeting
[00:30:55] chaired by Ahmed Al-Afadl. The committee reviewed
[00:30:58] previously issued legislation and laws.
