00:00:00meaning from from his skin when he leaves the city of Deir Ezzor.
00:00:03This is evidenced by the fact that they have now returned to destroyed homes,
00:00:08which will increase electricity hours in in a way that we are speaking for clarification.
00:00:11It is not that the people of Deir Ezzor wish to
00:00:15days to improve this
00:00:15already started, but this depends on stay in any city in
00:00:17funding. It depends on Syria. In fact,
00:00:18has returned to the land, and many generally speaking, governments
00:00:23the governorate. in any
00:00:24to pump them into place in the world
00:00:27to address this today have a big problem, which is the process of searching
00:00:30for reverse migration from the city
00:00:33to the countryside.
00:00:36Therefore, I believe that such
00:00:39massive projects and the presence
00:00:43that there will be many more projects of an integrated health system, the presence of universities, the presence of
00:00:46branches of ministries contribute to
00:00:50stopping migration from the countryside to the city, and even
00:00:54work on reverse migration, which is a very
00:00:57beneficial migration. China's
00:01:00excellent industrial production, which has captivated
00:01:04a big title under which the world,
00:01:06of wasting has for two years been working on
00:01:09reverse migration by raising the salaries
00:01:12of farmers and by supporting
00:01:15agricultural development and supporting agricultural production with many
00:01:18components. In fact, this
00:01:21issue is very important, and we have been demanding
00:01:24it constantly. The people of Deir Ezzor,
00:01:28even before the revolution,
00:01:30would reluctantly go to Damascus. Their children,
00:01:34these are costly losses. Their children go to study,
00:01:38for medical treatment, and so on. If
00:01:42they need any small transaction, they have to
00:01:45install a faucet in their house, they have to go and get
00:01:49a (figuratively speaking, of course) they have to get the approval of the Council
00:01:53the city of Deir Ezzor as a city center with of Ministers. And if they want to build an oven to work in, they have to
00:01:56get the approval of the Council of Ministers. So, therefore,
00:02:04in Damascus? This So there are there is not much other plots prevention and obscuration imposed on the eastern region in general. It is even said that
00:02:08the mosques in
00:02:10and the city's residents to invest the eastern region were built by the locals, not the former regime. This
00:02:13is a very important point. You have indeed reminded
00:02:16me of it. The development in Deir Ezzor,
00:02:20it seems there is a problem with the connection with urban development, we are talking about urban
00:02:22development in Deir Ezzor. I can almost assert that 90% or
00:02:2695% of it comes from the savings of Syrians
00:02:30working abroad and from their savings at home,
00:02:34that the industrial city of Deir Ezzor will witness which they managed This indicates through rudimentary means,
00:02:37through the cooperatives they run, and through social
00:02:40solidarity among themselves. It is truly an effort
00:02:44that was not supported by
00:02:47the government or successive governments,
00:02:50especially the former regime. So imagine
00:02:53during the days of the revolution. Of course, during the days of the revolution,
00:02:57there was a genocide that occurred, and in revenge,
00:03:01and establishing things unfortunately, this crime is known to everyone.
00:03:04So, therefore, we are truly
00:03:07talking about marginalization, as if
00:03:10it was deliberate. That is why, at the beginning of the meeting,
00:03:14I mentioned that perhaps the people of Deir Ezzor
00:03:17feel for the first time that they truly belong
00:03:21to this country. Honestly, to be frank,
00:03:24we belong, and they feel that they are Syrians
00:03:27and they contribute, and so on. But this is the first time
00:03:33researcher, academic, and expert in perhaps the people of the eastern region and the people of Deir Ezzor
00:03:36feel that there are officials,
00:03:40and at the head of the state, and the president in particular,
00:03:42and
00:03:45His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:03:48the industrial city of Deir Ezzor has gone through, with this explicit recognition of the role, and I mean the political
00:03:52and economic role
00:03:55health sector and supporting of this region. I truly
00:03:57want to point out the industrial issue.
00:04:00The industrial zone in Deir Ezzor,
00:04:03if it is not accompanied
00:04:07by facilities from banks, if it is not accompanied by local
00:04:10registrations from banks, whether local or in any form,
00:04:14and so on, we will not reach the true
00:04:16formula for such a
00:04:20and enhance integrity within thing. Therefore,
00:04:22I would like to call upon the Minister of Finance
00:04:25and the economic officials concerned
00:04:29with this
00:04:35Professor Musab, before the end of people, the people of the city, because
00:04:39our goal is to invest and localize them,
00:04:42bring them back, and create job opportunities for them. I believe
00:04:46this is the duty of the state or the duty
00:04:50of the government through finding
00:04:53sources of funding for these projects.
00:04:56We must look at small projects, and this
00:04:59is a matter that China,
00:05:04and the projects that will come its entire economy and the beginning of its huge economy, was based on small projects in homes.
00:05:07In fact, the issue of agriculture
00:05:11also needs attention.
00:05:14I have heard a lot about what is currently facing Deir Ezzor
00:05:18in the land reclamation process. The General Organization
00:05:21for the Euphrates Basin, I believe, solved it, and this was a big
00:05:24mistake in my opinion, considering that
00:05:27salinization
00:05:31lands have now gone out of production.
00:05:34The crisis is escalating and increasing.
00:05:38It is imperative
00:05:40issue quickly.
00:05:43The state should really expedite this. There
00:05:47are billions of Syrian pounds that have been spent on land
00:05:50reclamation. Now the land has started to become barren
00:05:54again, and the salt
00:05:57levels are rising. Therefore, if we want agricultural production in the sense
00:06:01that we market for export and have a hand
00:06:04or a mark in agricultural production, we must
00:06:08strive or rush in the process of mechanization
00:06:11and modern agricultural technology and
00:06:14irrigation with modern methods and ending the process
00:06:18water and destroying the, or killing, the
00:06:22living soil. In the coming period, God willing, the agricultural
00:06:26file will be opened and discussed more broadly, whether in the eastern region
00:06:29or in other regions of Syria. We will also dedicate a section
00:06:33to the eastern region to discuss these damages. I return to Professor
00:06:36Badri Al-Maslouq. Professor Badri, among the package
00:06:39of projects that have been discussed is the rehabilitation of infrastructure
00:06:43for bridges and electricity. What are your priorities in this
00:06:47regard?
00:06:49Indeed, the issue of bridges was one of
00:06:52the most important projects that the
00:06:55Ministry of Transport was commendably
00:06:58working on. Currently, work is underway on
00:07:02the vital bridge that connects
00:07:06Al-Jazira, which is known as the Al-Siyasah bridge previously.
00:07:09Work on this
00:07:12bridge began on the day of the President's
00:07:15last visit to the governorate. A contract was signed
00:07:19with the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, and they commendably
00:07:22immediately began
00:07:48bridges in Deir Ezzor governorate that
00:07:51the specialized ministries are currently working on, namely
00:07:55the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. They are currently working on rehabilitating
00:07:59the Siasiya Bridge. That vital bridge connects the center
00:08:02of Deir Ezzor city to the Al-Jazeera region.
00:08:05It is also considered a vital link
00:08:09for the Hasakah-Deir Ezzor road.
00:08:13There is also the Al-Mayadeen Bridge, which the Ministry of Public Works has also started working
00:08:16on. There is also the Al-Asharah Bridge and the
00:08:19Al-Bukamal Bridge, which will also be rehabilitated in the coming days.
00:08:23These bridges are important bridges that connect the Al-Shamiyah
00:08:27region
00:08:40over the Euphrates River. These temporary bridges
00:08:43are emergency bridges that serve the local residents,
00:08:47such as earthen bridges and military bridges. A military bridge was placed in
00:08:50Deir Ezzor city, and in the coming few days, a military
00:08:54bridge will be placed in the city of Al-Mayadeen. Yes,
00:08:58regarding electricity, it is the most important factor, especially with the rising
00:09:01temperatures. How will this also be dealt with? Yes,
00:09:05in fact, Deir Ezzor city suffers
00:09:08from the issue of electricity, as it is connected to the electricity
00:09:11grid throughout Syria by a branch connection, not
00:09:14a loop connection. The electricity line that supplies
00:09:18Deir Ezzor city extends
00:09:21from the Jandar station for a distance of more than 300
00:09:25kilometers. This line is subjected
00:09:29every now and then to acts of sabotage by
00:09:33some saboteurs.
00:09:36This leads to power outages in the governorate.
00:09:39In fact, the governorate is currently
00:09:43working with the Ministry of Energy to establish a power
00:09:46generation plant in the Al-Taym field
00:09:49with a capacity of 700 thousand, 700
00:09:52megawatts, with 300 megawatts of solar energy, which will cover
00:09:56the governorate. There is also a project that was announced
00:10:00a few days ago, which is the project to connect Deir Ezzor
00:10:03governorate with Raqqa governorate for a loop connection, and also with Hasakah.
00:10:06There is also a transformation station that will
00:10:10be put into service in the coming days, which will lead to an
00:10:13increase in the amount of electricity supplied to the governorate, and thus an increase in operating
00:10:17hours from eight hours to perhaps
00:10:2015 or 16 hours. After that,
00:10:23a transformation station will also be placed in the
00:10:26Al-Sab'a area, the area of the factories near the industrial city. It is expected that
00:10:30it will be established within three months,
00:10:33the governorate. Deir Ezzor governorate suffers, what I want to emphasize is that Deir Ezzor
00:10:37governorate suffers from the dilapidation of the internal
00:10:41network within the governorate. We had a meeting with the Minister
00:10:44of Energy last week. There were
00:10:48directives to improve the infrastructure of the internal network
00:10:51within Deir Ezzor governorate by providing some
00:10:55electricity and some wires to improve the internal structure
00:10:59of the internal network in the governorate. Yes, I will go
00:11:03to Professor Samir Al-Hayat. Professor Samir, you mentioned the industrial
00:11:07city and its distribution and the size it
00:11:10will reach if the project is completed, which will be 2850
00:11:13hectares. Despite this area, whether the initial
00:11:172260 hectares or up to 2850
00:11:21hectares, and the large distribution of the industries that have been discussed,
00:11:25what facilities will you offer to
00:11:28investors or even to locals wishing to invest in
00:11:31this city to attract as many projects
00:11:34as possible?
00:11:38Indeed, the most important attractive factor
00:11:40for investors in the industrial city of Deir Ezzor and investing
00:11:44in it is that the price per square
00:11:47meter of industrial plots in the industrial city of Deir Ezzor
00:11:51is the lowest selling price of industrial cities in Syria, in fact.
00:11:56So this is the biggest investment factor, in addition to the availability
00:12:00of raw materials and the availability of cheap labor.
00:12:03In addition to an important point, the occupancy
00:12:06rate of plots in other industrial cities has become very
00:12:10high. Whereas, because the industrial city was outside
00:12:13the management of the industrial
00:12:17city during previous periods, the occupancy rate
00:12:20among the 771 plots is approximately 80 subscribed plots.
00:12:26in the available spaces, which allow us, allow investors,
00:12:30as your esteemed guest mentioned, regarding encouraging investors
00:12:35in the industrial city of Deir Ezzor. In fact, there is a strong desire among
00:12:39the people of Deir Ezzor governorate, especially those expatriates
00:12:43in other countries, to invest in the industrial city of Deir Ezzor. Currently, the industrial city
00:12:46has received preliminary subscription requests
00:12:50for investment in it, and the number has reached
00:12:53approximately 60 subscription requests.
00:12:56the great demand
00:12:59for investment in it. An important point that
00:13:03we must mention is that during the past periods, the industrial
00:13:06city and its infrastructure suffered great
00:13:09destruction. The industrial city needs significant government
00:13:12support to rehabilitate its infrastructure,
00:13:16which will, of course, put it into service
00:13:19and thus serve our investor brothers
00:13:22in the plots.
00:13:26There are many factors: the proximity of the Conoco gas field, which is considered one of the largest
00:13:30gas fields in the eastern region, about 8
00:13:33kilometers away from the industrial city. So,
00:13:368 km, and also one of the most important projects that
00:13:38the government is working on for the future is to
00:13:42connect the industrial city of Deir Ezzor to this field, the Conoco gas
00:13:46field. Therefore, this is a very important factor for industrialists
00:13:50when the industrial city's plots are supplied with gas near the Euphrates River,
00:13:53near the industrial city of Deir Ezzor. From the main road network that
00:13:57connects it to Iraq, Turkey, and neighboring countries, in addition to
00:14:01the opening of Deir Ezzor airport yesterday. This is also
00:14:04an attractive factor and a strength for the governorate in general.
00:14:07The city of Deir Ezzor, despite all the circumstances that
00:14:13we still have three operating factories
00:14:16in the industrial city of Deir Ezzor. As the President said,
00:14:20he wished that
00:14:22the phrase "Made in Deir Ezzor" would
00:14:26return to the markets again. In fact, there are now products from the industrial
00:14:30city of Deir Ezzor. We have a factory for producing agricultural
00:14:32hoses, and there is also a factory for producing
00:14:36feed capsules, and there is also a mill, all
00:14:39of which are currently operating in the industrial city
00:14:43despite the difficult
00:14:44circumstances in the industrial city of Deir Ezzor.
00:14:47This is all
00:14:51I can say about the industrial city.
00:15:05that may occur to many when talking about all
00:15:09these projects, and if they actually start and become
00:15:12reality on the ground, what is the time period that
00:15:16Deir Ezzor might need
00:15:19to greatly and clearly rise
00:15:22for the people of Deir Ezzor, for the civilians? When
00:15:26will these projects become a real
00:15:29and visible
00:15:30presence?
00:15:33I mean, we are talking realistically and without your expertise,
00:15:37of course. These projects
00:15:40have already begun,
00:15:43as mentioned. The President
00:15:46confirmed that there is a scheduled plan.
00:15:50Therefore, the beginning has
00:15:55the available financial capabilities
00:15:58of the Syrian government
00:16:01the eastern region. And in my humble opinion,
00:16:05the eastern region is very important now
00:16:08for rebuilding Syria's economy without relying on the
00:16:12existing resources of the eastern region. There is some difficulty
00:16:15in improving the situation of the citizen. Wheat,
00:16:19barley, food items, and the basic food basket,
00:16:22and also oil
00:16:24and export and industrial projects are all linked
00:16:28to the eastern region, effectively. Therefore, the smart investment now
00:16:31for the government and the investment authority is to
00:16:34truly direct huge funds
00:16:38to the eastern region because the eastern
00:16:41region will contribute within one or two
00:16:44years, agricultural projects will start producing in very
00:16:47good quantities, and perhaps exports within several years. The
00:16:51eastern region can become a major
00:16:55source of income, not only through
00:16:57production and export, but also through taxes,
00:17:00through employing labor,
00:17:04and thus the economic cycle. We have
00:17:08a real treasure in eastern Syria. The previous
00:17:11overthrown regime destroyed this region
00:17:14and tried, out of fear,
00:17:17out of fear of the eastern region, out of fear of its
00:17:21rebellion, and out of its dictatorial
00:17:23view, to suppress this region with cunning
00:17:27methods. We are in good hands, and the government
00:17:31has started to look at encouraging
00:17:34these projects very strongly, financially
00:17:38and in terms of funding. When funding
00:17:41is available, projects become feasible
00:17:44within a timeline. Within a year or two,
00:17:48the return will be direct, because any productive
00:17:51project has a direct return, even in the construction phase.
00:17:55There will be employment of labor for infrastructure,
00:17:58for establishing factories. There will
00:18:01also be encouragement for investors,
00:18:05including foreign investors. When they see that the state
00:18:08has invested money in this region and started establishing
00:18:12projects, they will be encouraged and will be assured that there
00:18:16is complete security and stability in this region, and therefore I can
00:18:20enter and invest in this region freely.
00:18:23Of course, we must address a very important point, which is the issue
00:18:27of electricity, water, and basic
00:18:29services. These should run in
00:18:32parallel with the strategic development projects,
00:18:36as we discussed industrial cities
00:18:40and large production projects in petrochemicals,
00:18:43and oil projects. Therefore, the existence of these
00:18:47two lines in parallel within the eastern region will
00:18:51contribute to supporting the citizens in the eastern
00:18:55region, in addition to the citizens throughout Syria
00:18:58as a whole. And there is a humanitarian gesture, and I truly
00:19:00congratulate the President and the government on the issue
00:19:04of cancer treatment. This is perhaps something we haven't discussed. This is a wonderful
00:19:08humanitarian gesture, approximately 21 million
00:19:11dollars to reduce and prevent the suffering of patients.
00:19:15A cancer patient needed to travel for a chemotherapy dose, imagine,
00:19:18a cancer patient who wants to go to Damascus, 450
00:19:21km, to get a dose to treat the cancer he is suffering
00:19:25from. Therefore, this in itself, this is considered
00:19:28a true focus on supporting the
00:19:32citizens in the eastern region, because the eastern
00:19:36region is a region of generosity and origin. And the people of Deir Ezzor,
00:19:40the people of the eastern region, are known for their traditions. And I
00:19:44am sure, as my esteemed guest said, no one
00:19:47loves to leave their region
00:19:51and their home and go to Damascus or go to, in fact,
00:19:54because attachment to the land is one of their customs. Therefore,
00:19:57we need to support the region, and we are optimistic.
00:20:00Just the existence of security and stability, and the start
00:20:03of pumping funds to establish projects such as the industrial city,
00:20:07and a road project, and also bridges,
00:20:11this means that we are moving
00:20:38projects we talked about
00:20:41in the future are directed to our people in Deir Ezzor to alleviate
00:20:44the suffering they endured during the past
00:20:48years. We fully understand
00:20:52the suffering of our people in Deir Ezzor governorate
00:20:55from weak services and dilapidated infrastructure.
00:20:58We
00:21:01will work in the coming
00:21:05miserable reality that our people are living. We are making
00:21:08every effort to improve services in
00:21:13In fact,
00:21:15we would also like to thank
00:21:19the central government in Damascus,
00:21:23which has, in recent
00:21:26days, made every effort and directed many projects
00:21:30to this governorate. We also hope
00:21:33in the coming days for this afflicted governorate.
00:21:36These projects will improve the service
00:21:51In fact, the industrial city is
00:21:54many projects also fall, contributing to providing job
00:21:58opportunities and developing the economic and development situation in the governorate,
00:22:01whether it is the dry port, whether it is the treatment plant,
00:22:05whether it is the free zone, whether it is a technical and technology
00:22:09center, and research centers. All of these are linked to the work of the industrial city
00:22:12of Deir Ezzor. In fact, what we need now in the industrial city of Deir
00:22:16Ezzor is for there to be a special adoption by the government for the industrial
00:22:19city of Deir Ezzor through linking it to the agreements
00:22:22that the government signs with the governments of friendly
00:22:33In fact, I do not want to address the people of Deir
00:22:36Ezzor directly, but rather convey what the people of Deir Ezzor want
00:22:39in terms of aspirations. They believe that the oil
00:22:43companies should be localized in Deir Ezzor
00:22:46to stimulate the economy. What is the meaning
00:22:50of having the Euphrates Oil Company
00:22:54localization creates job opportunities, activates
00:22:57the airport. The important thing is that we have activated the airport. So what comes
00:23:01after the airport? Yes, and with the existence of modern
00:23:04internet technology and communication devices, there is no longer a problem
00:23:08with being here or there. The people
00:23:12of Deir Ezzor also look forward to the rebuilding of the factories
00:23:15that were destroyed: the spinning factories, the paper factory, the sugar beet factory. These used to provide
00:23:19excellent job opportunities. The people of Deir Ezzor look forward
00:23:22to starting real human development,
00:23:25truly. The
00:23:28human
00:23:30infrastructure. Yes, human resource development, because today
00:23:34when there is a leap with a strategic vision
00:23:37towards massive projects like these projects, these require
00:23:41qualified human cadres, in fact, for
00:23:44that. So why don't we start now by establishing
00:23:48teaching institutes
00:23:51of this kind? The people of Deir Ezzor truly,
00:23:55today, I believe that they are, in the face of this
00:23:58fair view from the state
00:24:01towards them, they
00:25:54And so the President's speech in the opening session ended
00:25:57without applause,
00:26:01because the council that
00:26:03convened had returned to its normal role as an arena
00:26:06for discussion for the good of the nation, and a voice
00:26:10for it to convey its concerns, discuss its issues,
00:26:14and approve the appropriate laws
00:26:16for it. For Syrians today do not wait
00:26:20for applause, but for someone to represent
00:26:23them
00:26:24and speak on their behalf.
00:26:31The outlines of a new phase are forming on the horizon,
00:26:35bringing with it promises of real opportunities to build
00:26:38the future after years of pressure
00:26:41and hardships experienced
00:26:43by Syrians.
00:26:47These efforts culminated in the initiation of
00:26:51American procedures to revoke Syria's designation as a state
00:26:54sponsor of terrorism.
00:26:58Ending this issue and lifting the associated sanctions
00:27:03is the essential step to revive daily life
00:27:06and propel the
00:27:08economy
00:27:11so that the country can continue with steady steps towards
00:27:15development, peace, and stability.
