00:03:39ez-Zor, God willing. And also the road connecting Al-Bukamal and Raqqa
00:03:42will also be rehabilitated,
00:03:45and also the Al-Jazeera road from the inside,
00:03:48between يعني opposite Al-Bukamal
00:03:51to Deir ez-Zor, will also be worked on. And also the bridges
00:03:55that were destroyed, including the political bridge and Al-Mayadeen,

00:04:52In turn, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Asaad
00:04:57in Al-Shaibani affirmed during
00:04:58Ghouta with chemical weapons in the reopening ceremony of Deir ez-Zor encroachments and violations on Airport that
00:05:01Deir ez-Zor Province is a heart of Syria
00:05:04and a link between شام and Mesopotamia, where it provided
00:05:08Syria with resources for its economic security for long
00:05:11decades thanks to
00:05:13its wheat and cotton production. When we mention Deir
00:05:16ez-Zor, we are talking about a strong
00:05:20pillar of the Syrian Revolution. And since
00:05:23the first weeks of 2011, this
00:05:27city rose early,
00:05:30and its Freedom Square echoed with the chant of one
00:05:33homeland, a pure chant for Syria from
00:05:37its far reaches to its far reaches. Syria, which we are building
00:05:40today, will not be complete
00:05:43except with the recovery of its east. And here
00:05:46its east returns to its embrace, and life
00:05:49flows again. The reconstruction of vital facilities
00:05:53is a comprehensive and interconnected
00:05:56national path that tops the priorities
00:05:59of the Syrian state. With it, the Syrian
00:06:02geography is reunited, and the state's institutions
00:06:05regain their vitality and function, and the sacrifices
00:06:08of Syrians are translated into a dignified
00:06:11and sustainable life.
00:06:13This was confirmed by the head of the Civil Aviation Authority, Omar
00:06:17Al-Hasri, that the reopening of Deir ez-Zor Airport represents
00:06:21a new stage in the process of rebuilding Syria
00:06:24and enhancing national development, noting that the
00:06:27project was completed in a record
00:06:32adherence to the highest safety and
00:06:35efficiency standards. The opening of Deir ez-Zor Airport
00:06:39today does not represent merely the rehabilitation of a service
00:06:43facility, but rather embodies a new stage in the process
00:06:47of rebuilding Syria, restoring
00:06:50its institutions, and stimulating the wheel
00:06:53of development, enhancing confidence in the state's ability to
00:06:56implement strategic projects that serve citizens
00:06:59and support the national economy. Since the first
00:07:03day, and under the guidance of His Excellency the President,
00:07:07the reactivation of Deir ez-Zor Airport was a national
00:07:10priority due to the importance of this airport in
00:07:14serving the people of the governorate, facilitating the movement
00:07:18of citizens, enhancing economic and investment
00:07:21activity, and reintegrating eastern Syria
00:07:25into the national and international air transport
00:07:30standpoint, the General Authority of Civil Aviation,
00:07:34ministries, institutions, and concerned parties, worked to
00:07:38complete this project in a record
00:07:41time, with full commitment to the highest standards
00:07:45of safety, security, and operational efficiency.
00:07:51civil aviation is an investment in the future
00:07:53of the Syrian economy as a whole, because it stimulates
00:07:57trade, encourages investment, creates
00:08:00job opportunities, and opens new horizons for growth
00:08:04and development. For his part, the Governor
00:08:08of Deir ez-Zor, Ziad Al-Ayesh, affirmed that the opening of Deir ez-Zor Airport
00:08:11and its return to service represent an important
00:08:15step in supporting development
00:08:18in the governorate and eastern Syria. The
00:08:22governorate of Deir ez-Zor today possesses great
00:08:25potential for growth, progress, and prosperity in various sectors,
00:08:29and the return of the airport to service
00:08:31and its international expansion will be an important factor in
00:08:35supporting development plans, accelerating the economy,
00:08:39and enhancing investment opportunities, which will positively
00:08:42affect the lives of citizens and the future of Syria, in addition
00:08:46to being a vital lifeline and a bridge that connects
00:08:49expatriates from this governorate to their land
00:08:53and families, facilitating their return and increasing
00:08:56their connection to their homeland and their active
00:08:59participation in its development and reconstruction. And on this
00:09:03occasion, thanks are extended to the General
00:09:07Authority of Civil Aviation and Air Transport, and to all
00:09:10ministries, institutions, and concerned
00:09:13parties whose efforts converged

00:09:24loyal people. Mr. President
00:09:27Ahmed Al-Shara issued Decree No.
00:09:30162 of 2026,
00:09:34appointing Ahmed Rawad Mohammed Bashar
00:09:37Ramadan Mushira as Director-General
00:09:40of the Syrian Investment Authority. The decree comes within the framework of issuing
00:09:44administrative appointments for government institutions and bodies,
00:09:47as it stipulated the appointment of Ahmed Rawad
00:09:51Mohammed Bashar Ramadan to assume the duties of the General
00:09:54Administration of the Syrian Investment Authority, replacing
00:09:57Engineer Talal Al-Hilali.
00:10:51The UN Security Council held a special session during which it heard
00:10:55a briefing on the threat of ISIS in Syria
00:10:58and Iraq to international peace and security.
00:11:01The Head of the Office of the Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism
00:11:05affirmed that the organization is exploiting the changing security landscape
00:11:09in Syria to reconfigure its threats, calling
00:11:13for the repatriation of Al-Hol camp residents to their home countries in a safe,
00:11:17voluntary, and dignified
00:11:19manner.
00:11:23organization remains.
00:11:28Counter-terrorism operations
00:11:32have undermined the organization's senior leadership
00:11:35and limited its ability to centrally
00:11:38direct operations.
00:11:42to the new circumstances. Despite the fact that
00:11:47the organization remains resilient, and affiliated
00:11:50entities are united around a common ideology.
00:11:53The organization still exploits fragile security
00:11:57environments and protracted armed conflicts. All
00:12:00counter-terrorism efforts should be based on international
00:12:04law, including international human rights law,
00:12:07humanitarian law, and refugee law.
00:12:12only a legal obligation, but also
00:12:16a fundamental practical necessity to ensure the effectiveness
00:12:19and legitimacy of our
00:12:21collective efforts. For her part, the Executive
00:12:25Director of the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee, Carmen
00:12:28Cantor, affirmed that developments in Syria emphasize
00:12:32the importance of vigilance in confronting the organization's threat,
00:12:36and explained that addressing the situation of former
00:12:39ISIS affiliates requires legal prosecution
00:12:42and rehabilitation and reintegration in accordance with international
00:12:45law. The challenge remains global,
00:12:48and Africa is affected much more
00:12:52than others. Developments in the Syrian Arab Republic
00:12:56emphasize the importance
00:13:01remain enormous, and the closure of Al-Hol
00:13:04camp represents a tremendous development,
00:13:06and it
00:13:09highlights the complexity
00:13:11of addressing the situations of former
00:13:15ISIS affiliates and their families.
00:13:18This issue is becoming more urgent
00:13:21today. Ensuring legal prosecution
00:13:25and reintegration and rehabilitation measures
00:13:29that consider age
00:13:31and gender dimensions
00:13:35are all issues that have not yet been resolved. Addressing
00:13:38this challenge will require international cooperation, sufficient
00:13:42resources, and compliance with humanitarian law and international human
00:13:46attention to the needs
00:13:49of victims.
00:13:57The Permanent Syrian Representative to the Organization for the Prohibition
00:14:01of Chemical Weapons, Mohammed Ktub, affirmed on the anniversary of the sarin gas
00:14:04attack on Douma in August 2013
00:14:08that the effects of these crimes do not end with the dissipation of toxic
00:14:11gases, but remain etched in
00:14:14the souls of survivors and victims' families, who
00:14:17continue their quest for truth, justice,
00:14:20and accountability.
00:14:2513 years have passed, and the details of that
00:14:28dark night are still etched in the minds
00:14:31of Syrians. 13 years have passed, and the people
00:14:35of Douma have not forgotten the horrors they experienced
00:14:39when the defunct regime turned the city into a scene of one of the most heinous
00:14:42crimes after targeting it with toxic sarin gas, leaving
00:14:46hundreds of victims
00:14:48civilians. Hospitals were overflowing with
00:14:52around 400
00:14:55of them women and children, before warplanes returned
00:14:59to hover over the city, spreading panic among
00:15:02the residents who believed that a new attack was imminent.
00:15:05And the last scene was even more brutal:
00:15:09pictures documenting hundreds of corpses. Those
00:15:12painful scenes did not prevent the defunct regime from re-using
00:15:15this internationally prohibited weapon. Just two weeks
00:15:18after targeting Douma with sarin gas, it targeted
00:15:23August 2013. It also
00:15:27committed two massacres in Khan Sheikhoun in
00:15:302017 and in Douma in
00:15:332018, according to a joint
00:15:36investigation by the United Nations and the Organization
00:15:39for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. According to the Permanent
00:15:42Syrian Representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Mohammed
00:15:46Ktub, the Douma attack was the 11th
00:15:49reported use of chemical weapons in
00:15:52Syria and the second on the same night, confirming that the effects
00:15:56of these crimes do not end with the dissipation of toxic gases,
00:15:59but remain etched in the souls of survivors and victims'
00:16:02families, who continue their quest for truth,
00:16:06justice, and accountability.
00:16:08And today, 13 years later, Syrians remember
00:16:12that night with sorrow, but this memory is accompanied by
00:16:16hopes for the completion of the transitional justice process and accountability
00:16:20for those responsible for these crimes.
00:16:33The Israeli occupation released two young detainees from
00:16:37the town of Sweisa in the Quneitra countryside, after a detention
00:16:40that lasted for about a year in occupation prisons. The release of
00:16:44the two young men came within the framework of governmental efforts and follow-up
00:16:48on the file of detainees in Israeli occupation
00:16:51prisons.
00:16:53Israeli occupation forces released two young men from the town of Sweisa, from
00:16:57the southern Quneitra countryside, after nearly a year and a half of
00:17:00their detention. Their families welcomed them here amidst an atmosphere
00:17:03filled with joy and happiness. It is worth noting that the occupation
00:17:07forces released two others last week,
00:17:10bringing the number of detainees in occupation prisons
00:17:13to 47 represents a breakthrough
00:17:17and hope for the families of the remaining detainees
00:17:21to see the light and meet them soon with the same
00:17:24joy. Shadi Abu Zeid, Syrian News,

00:17:38UNDOF forces launched a protective fence
00:17:41around the town of Jubata al-Khashab in the northern
00:17:45Quneitra countryside to reduce the risk of
00:17:48drowning and enhance public safety. The project
00:17:51is being implemented in cooperation between the concerned authorities and the local
00:17:55community to enhance prevention measures and protect
00:17:58residents.
00:18:04The Syrian Arab Red Crescent branch in Quneitra,
00:18:07in cooperation with UNDOF forces, carried out a medical
00:18:11campaign in the town of Jubata al-Khashab in the northern Quneitra countryside to provide
00:18:14free health services to citizens. The campaign
00:18:17included specialized clinics in internal
00:18:20medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and dentistry,
00:18:24in addition to distributing medicines as part of efforts to enhance access to
00:18:28healthcare for residents of villages and border
00:18:31areas.
00:18:36A joint delegation from the Syrian Ministries of Interior
00:18:40and Foreign Affairs met in Beirut with the Lebanese Minister of Interior
00:18:44and Municipalities, Ahmed Al-Hajjar, and a number of
00:18:47senior Lebanese officers to discuss the most prominent files of mutual
00:18:50interest. The Syrian delegation's visit
00:18:53came at the invitation of the Lebanese Minister of Interior.
00:18:56The delegation was headed by Brigadier General
00:18:59Mulham Al-Shantout, Assistant Minister of Interior for Security
00:19:02Affairs, in the presence of the Chargé d'affaires of the Syrian Embassy in
00:19:05Beirut, Iyad Al-Hazaa.
00:19:07And the Director of the International Cooperation Department at the Ministry of Interior,
00:19:11Colonel Abdul Rahim
00:19:13Jabara.
00:19:18The National Authority for the Missing discussed with the Chargé
00:19:21d'affaires of the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Syria
00:19:25prospects for developing joint cooperation and exchanging
00:19:28expertise in areas related to the Authority's work,
00:19:32in a way that supports its efforts and entrenches the right of families
00:19:35of the missing to know the truth. The Authority reviewed
00:19:39its tasks, specializations, and the national efforts made
00:19:42to determine the fate of the missing and support
00:19:45their families. Both sides affirmed the importance of cooperation in
00:19:49developing national capacities within the framework of enhancing
00:19:52communication with diplomatic missions and the Authority's vision
00:19:56for addressing the issue of missing persons in
00:19:59Syria.
00:20:10The Syrian Cereals Establishment announced that the total quantities
00:20:14of wheat received for the current season in various
00:20:18governorates reached 2.7
00:20:21million tons, noting that the quantities
00:20:24received exceeded Syria's annual needs, which
00:20:27amount to 2.55 million
00:20:30tons, which reflects Syria's achievement of self-sufficiency
00:20:35wheat.
00:20:39Not just a number recorded in the harvest
00:20:42season, but a milestone in this year's wheat trajectory
00:20:46after the quantities received exceeded the country's annual
00:20:50need for this essential commodity. The Syrian
00:20:53General Establishment for Cereals announced that the total quantities of
00:20:56wheat received during the current season reached 2.7
00:21:00million tons from various governorates,
00:21:03exceeding the estimated annual need of
00:21:062.55 million
00:21:09tons. The Deputy Director-General of the
00:21:13Syrian General Establishment for Cereals, Ahmed Kadoun, confirmed that the operations
00:21:17of receiving wheat from farmers are still ongoing
00:21:20as long as there are viable quantities available for supply,
00:21:25centers is not linked to a specific timeframe, but rather to the continued
00:21:29flow of marketable quantities. Kadoun noted
00:21:32that the majority of receiving centers stopped
00:21:36operating after the available quantities from farmers within
00:21:39their geographical scope ran out, while the operating centers
00:21:42continue to receive the remaining harvest. With the received
00:21:46quantities exceeding the country's annual need, the Syrian
00:21:51is working to preserve this stock through technical measures, including
00:21:55safe storage and regular sterilization, to ensure the safety
00:21:58and quality of the wheat. In parallel with the receiving
00:22:02and milling operations, the Establishment continues to implement
00:22:05rehabilitation and expansion works in storage facilities in
00:22:09various governorates to increase storage capacity and enhance
00:22:13the ability to handle production quantities during the upcoming
00:22:15seasons. The exceeding of received quantities
00:22:19over the annual need places this season's wheat crop
00:22:23before a new stage, whose title is preserving the stock
00:22:26and enhancing the ability of local production to meet
00:22:30the country's needs for this essential
00:22:32commodity.
00:22:36The Ministry of Agriculture made available the results of
00:22:39the latest statistical survey of livestock through the
00:22:42livestock management platform, in a step
00:22:46that provides an updated picture of the reality of herds in Syria.
00:22:49The survey included most governorates, except
00:22:53Hasakah and Suwayda,
00:22:55where data showed that the number of sheep exceeded
00:22:5814 million head, while the number of goats
00:23:02approached 2
00:23:04million head. After years of pressures that
00:23:08affected the reality of livestock in Syria,
00:23:11the latest statistical survey reveals a picture that combines
00:23:15indicators of recovery that have begun to appear in the livestock sector.
00:23:18The new figures
00:23:22limited to counting animals, but rather provide a broader
00:23:25reading of the sector's condition, production levels,
00:23:29and breeders' conditions. According to the results of
00:23:31the survey, which included most
00:23:34governorates, the number of sheep exceeded 14
00:23:38million head, and the number of goats approached 2 million
00:23:42head, in an indicator that reflects an improvement compared
00:23:46improvement, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, is due to the
00:23:52the pastoral environment and the ease
00:23:54of raising them, which contributed to encouraging breeders
00:23:58and stimulating markets and opening up export
00:24:00opportunities. However, the picture also has another
00:24:03side, as the number of cattle declined from around
00:24:07one million head to around
00:24:09579
00:24:12as a result of the increase in production costs and fodder
00:24:14prices. In the poultry sector, a state
00:24:18of fluctuation continues, with
00:24:21a gradual increase, coinciding with the continuation of veterinary
00:24:25services and free vaccination campaigns. The Ministry
00:24:28of Agriculture confirms that the development of livestock represents
00:24:32a future priority through supporting breeders,
00:24:35improving production, developing services,
00:24:39and reducing the costs of breeding supplies.
00:24:42Between indicators of recovery and existing challenges,
00:24:45livestock remains a fundamental pillar
00:24:48of the Syrian agricultural economy, and protecting
00:24:51it requires sustainable solutions that ensure
00:24:55continued production
00:24:56and support for breeders.
00:25:00Minister of Agriculture, Basem Al-Suwaidan, opened
00:25:03the Rural Women's Products Exhibition at the Cultural Palace
00:25:06in Baniyas. The exhibition allows direct communication
00:25:10between producers and consumers, between producers and consumers
00:25:13without intermediaries, which
00:25:16consumers and increases the profit margin for producers.
00:25:24The Minister of Agriculture inaugurated the Rural Women's Products
00:25:28Exhibition in the city of Baniyas, with the participation of
00:25:31more than 60 women, with the aim of supporting and empowering women
00:25:35and marketing local
00:25:37products.
00:25:40Any productive idea, any idea that serves
00:25:43the interest of rural women, His Excellency the Minister is fully committed
00:25:46to it. As I mentioned, whoever comes to Damascus, to the Ministry
00:25:50of Agriculture soon, will find that the identity of the Ministry
00:25:53will change and will align with supporting rural women
00:25:56and rural women's products. And there are some matters
00:25:59being discussed now in order to make these
00:26:03products better packaged,
00:26:07better marketed. We will help market these
00:26:10products. The idea of the exhibition is a very
00:26:13beautiful idea, and the atmosphere I saw here of cooperation and
00:26:17diversity, whether in
00:26:19terms of what we have regarding
00:26:23natural products, cosmetic products, food products, in addition
00:26:26to crochet and handicrafts. I also noticed that there is
00:26:30an artistic aspect, which is sculpture, and there is a
00:26:34biodiversity aspect, based on cacti and
00:26:38decorative materials, ornamental plants. For
00:26:41rural women, I consider it an opportunity, an opportunity for integration
00:26:45into society, an opportunity for marketing. We started
00:26:49a project for skin and hair products.
00:26:52We first started by bringing tools like a blender,
00:26:56like a scale. That's how we started with simple
00:26:59equipment. We started with a few products at first.
00:27:03Then we gradually developed and heard about
00:27:06this exhibition, so we wanted to participate so that the products' name would be known
00:27:10more and more among
00:27:11people.
00:27:14I participated in the exhibition to show
00:27:17people how ornamental plants are grown
00:27:20and to give people new ideas and see ideas from people.
00:27:24Many people love the topic of tranquility
00:27:27and ornamental plants. Most people feel that they have brought a creature
00:27:31and it lives with them in this way. People love for this creature
00:27:35to remain fresh and beautiful
00:27:37in Paris.
00:27:39All my handmade works, especially painting
00:27:42ceramics. I relied on crochet due to
00:27:45the recent economic situation, because marketing paintings has become difficult and raw
00:27:49materials are very expensive. The reason for my participation in the exhibition is that there is an interaction
00:27:52and partnership between all people, and you learn things from them, and they learn
00:27:56things from you, and there is more interaction, more sales.
00:28:00And this is a good thing.
