00:00:19Amidst this
00:00:31President in the 81st session
00:00:34of the United Nations General Assembly.
00:00:36The Minister of Energy reveals the challenges of the sector in
00:00:40Syria during a hearing session in the
00:00:43People's Assembly. He praised the overthrow of a
00:00:47drug trafficking and promotion network in
00:00:50Homs.
00:01:01given the opportunity to work Last year, President
00:01:05Ahmed Al-Shara participated in the work of the 80th session
00:01:08of the United
00:01:10diesel, do not only affect Nations General Assembly as the first
00:01:13Syrian president to attend the annual meetings
00:01:16of the United Nations in history. At that time,
00:01:20President Al-Shara met with a number of leaders
00:01:23and officials on the sidelines of the session and delivered
00:01:26a speech before the General
00:01:29people who worked with me in Assembly to be the first Syrian president to speak from this platform. Let's watch
00:01:33part of
00:01:34them, they are engineers in the speech. Yes. We have triumphed in
00:01:37the battle of the oppressed, the tortured, and the forcibly
00:01:40displaced. We have triumphed for the mothers of the martyrs
00:01:42and the missing. We have triumphed for all of you, O world.
00:01:46We have triumphed for the future of our children and your children. And we have paved
00:01:50even exploratory drilling. This the way for the return of refugees to their homes and destroyed the trade
00:01:53of drugs that were being transferred from our country to
00:01:56your countries during the time of the previous regime. And Syria
00:01:59has been transformed from a country that records crises to
00:02:03a historical opportunity for achieving stability, peace
00:02:06and prosperity.
00:02:08But what has Syria benefited
00:02:11from this participation during the year?
00:02:14President Al-Shara met at that time with presidents and officials from more than
00:02:1815 countries, including Turkey,
00:02:21Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, and America, and countries
00:02:24whose officials may have never met with a Syrian official.
00:02:28Such as Latvia and the Czech Republic and Finland, not to mention
00:02:32organizations such as the European Union and delegations from representatives
00:02:35of major global companies. The participation
00:02:39contributed partially to lifting the sanctions on Syria,
00:02:42especially the Caesar Act, as it was
00:02:46canceled within a few months after
00:02:50the participation of the President in the work of the
00:02:53United Nations General Assembly. And today,
00:02:55President Ahmed Al-Shara is heading again to
00:02:59New York. To participate in the work of the 81st
00:03:03the existence of a ship to transport this type of session of the United Nations General Assembly. The visit stations
00:03:07include, according to sources, a speech
00:03:10before world leaders and a meeting with the American
00:03:13Secretary of State Marco Rubio
00:03:16and participation in a dialogue for the Atlantic Council
00:03:19on the future of Syria and reconstruction.
00:03:23This has received widespread interaction with
00:03:26Hama Governorate. This the second consecutive participation
00:03:29of the President in the work of the United Nations General Assembly.
00:03:32So, we will show you the most prominent comments. The first comment
00:03:36we have is from Muhammad on Facebook. He says, "The countries of the world
00:03:39can no longer hide or underestimate
00:03:42the new status and role of Syria. Syria, which has
00:03:46proven to the world
00:03:49The operation also that it is no longer a marginal state, but has become a decision-maker in
00:03:52the region."
00:03:55Nasser wrote a comment in which
00:03:58inside Syria this year. This he says, "This visit is considered an important diplomatic
00:04:02one to enhance the international presence of the new Syria
00:04:05ez-Zor. This opening and its agenda includes, according to what has been announced,
00:04:09of the state's duties to very important points, such as participation in
00:04:12the Atlantic Council
00:04:15for Research
00:04:18that were provided to us by Ayed Al-Ahmad commented
00:04:20million cubic meters. This saying, "Good luck, God willing, may he return safely and achieve the goals and aspirations
00:04:25Al-Shorta Club holds a training camp in of the Syrian people. May he return with goodness and safety,
00:04:28the raw materials that were installed on Lord."
00:04:30a quarter of a billion dollars to complete Farah. Wrote on X, "Every international meeting and every
00:04:33new door that opens for
00:04:36and its installation and the completion of Syria, or that opens for Syria, can be an additional opportunity for the country,
00:04:40and the most important thing is for this openness to continue and for Syria
00:04:44to benefit from it in reconstruction and attracting
00:04:47investments and strengthening its relations with various countries
00:04:52media on this of the world." The last comment is from Muhammad Sayah
00:04:55who wrote on Facebook, "Muhammad says what is striking
00:04:58in Syria's participation today is not only the presence
00:05:01of the United Nations, but also the size
00:05:04of the meetings and communication with various countries, organizations,
00:05:08and companies. More than 40 meetings in three days,
00:05:11and this can constitute a real opportunity for
00:05:15Syria in the coming
00:05:16phase."
00:05:21The visit lasts three days.
00:05:24Sources spoke of an intensive schedule of meetings amounting
00:05:27to about 40 meetings during the visit. This visit
00:05:31is also considered the third for President Al-Shara to the United
00:05:37in a row to participate in the work of the United Nations
00:05:40General Assembly.
00:05:54Dear viewer, a hearing session for the Minister
00:05:58of Energy was held today in the People's Assembly. It came after the temporary
00:06:02increase in fuel prices that the
00:06:05ministry announced a few days ago, but it
00:06:08did not only address the fuel file, but also discussed the
00:06:12energy sector as a whole, especially after
00:06:16many people talked about the difference in production between
00:06:19one period and another, and considered that a contradiction in the statements
00:06:23of the ministry. The minister explained the reason for this
00:06:26discrepancy in the figures in some statements. Let's watch.
00:06:30Regarding the contradiction in statements, how was it 140 and today
00:06:341000 or 144? Of course,
00:06:37we used to produce about 140 thousand barrels. Of course, people, what I mean is
00:06:41that today they are saying
00:06:48it might become 11 thousand. A few
00:06:51days ago, when fuel prices were raised, you saw roads blocked, crude oil
00:06:54stopped coming here, the wells that we were filling from stopped,
00:06:58some wells stopped producing, production dropped to
00:07:0098 thousand.
00:07:02Everyone knows that ministries took over their institutions after
00:07:06liberation, and they are exhausted to a large extent, especially
00:07:10the Ministry of Energy, which was established and included
00:07:13electricity, water, and oil in one ministry, and whose
00:07:17minister spoke today about the most prominent challenges
00:07:20it has faced since liberation, and some of them are still
00:07:29Syria, all of Syria's warehouses were empty, meaning
00:07:33we don't have conversion stations, we don't have low or high voltage transformers
00:07:37for electricity, we don't have valves or spare parts
00:07:40or pipelines or anything. The things that we can
00:07:44use to develop fields or power plants, meaning today if
00:07:47a transformer in the Damascus
00:07:51countryside is hit, we have to wait to go and buy one.
00:07:54Okay? So that we can reinstall it, and this is one of
00:07:58the reasons that some of the honorable
00:08:00representatives mentioned regarding the issue of why sometimes
00:08:04we go with direct contracting, because if I want to go and make a tender to buy 10 transformers, I will have
00:08:08to leave a neighborhood without electricity for two months until we make
00:08:11the tender.
00:08:18However, the rise in fuel prices was not the only thing that has been raising
00:08:21Syrians' questions for months. The electricity situation and the answers
00:08:24to its details were strongly present in the session. Have
00:08:27you ever wondered how much gas Syria needs monthly
00:08:31to generate electricity to cover its
00:08:35needs? According to the minister, the cost
00:08:39of imported gas used to generate electricity
00:08:42is about 140 million dollars per month.
00:08:46Also, the electricity tariff, which many complained
00:08:49about, was set after holding dozens
00:08:52of workshops with engineers,
00:08:55technicians, the community, and governors to study
00:08:58the tariff and the mechanism for determining it. As for
00:09:02the gas situation that the minister spoke about, he spoke
00:09:05about many lines that connect Syria due to
00:09:09its geographical location with neighboring countries, which
00:09:12need rehabilitation work, such as the Kirkuk-
00:09:15Baniyas pipeline and the Arab Gas Pipeline, for which
00:09:18a decision was taken
00:09:25Gas Pipeline, which we are now working on through the internal network, even bringing
00:09:295.3
00:09:33line, we made price offers for it, and it is currently
00:09:36under implementation to complete the Arab Gas Pipeline
00:09:39with a financial value of about
00:09:42this line. Of course, it will be at the expense of the Syrian Petroleum Company's budget, not
00:09:46an investment. It is from the Syrian
00:09:49Company's budget. He pointed out
00:09:53a prominent achievement of the ministry.
00:09:55The ministry returned many,
00:09:58or more than 80% of
00:10:01its dismissed employees for revolutionary
00:10:04reasons. More than 1000 employees
00:10:07returned. Watch the restoration of rights and competencies. And I
00:10:11wanted to point out that we have a
00:10:14number of employees who were dismissed due
00:10:18to their affiliation and connection with the Syrian Revolution. We received
00:10:2112,000 applications. 1000 people.
00:10:251015 were reinstated to work, and
00:10:272655 are under processing, either the person applied
00:10:31electronically, or someone who is not here was not interviewed, was traveling
00:10:35and has now returned, or their institution was abolished or
00:10:39stopped working, so we are looking for a place, and some of them refused
00:10:42to join and are looking for a more suitable place. But we have
00:10:45reinstated 1015
00:10:48people to work. I truly believe and claim
00:10:51that we, as a ministry, were the first to start signing contracts with the...
00:10:57So, how did you comment on the Minister's
00:11:00statements before the People's Assembly today? The first comment we
00:11:04have is from Abdullah on X, who says, "After
00:11:07the protests and so on that happened in the past few days, it is beautiful
00:11:10in our new country that the official comes out and talks
00:11:14to the people and their representatives and provides clarifications that calm
00:11:18the fears of the people." Bassam says on
00:11:21Facebook, "We heard the minister's statements, but
00:11:25the current stage requires well-studied and gradual
00:11:28decisions, because the prices of petroleum
00:11:32products, especially
00:11:35the citizen alone, but are directly reflected in transportation,
00:11:38production, and industry. Exceptional and enormous
00:11:41economic pressures to secure petroleum products
00:11:44and prevent their complete قطع instead of frustrating
00:11:48national efforts, it is more appropriate for us to be aware
00:11:52of the extent of global challenges."
00:11:55Fadi wrote on X and said, "People,
00:11:59I work in the oil and gas sector, and his words are
00:12:03true. Syria's wells are dilapidated and dangerous
00:12:06and need large specialized companies
00:12:09to enter to increase their productivity
00:12:11again, or
00:12:15talk needs years, and Syria was
00:12:18sanctioned internationally. Be patient with this government, and may
00:12:21God help it."
00:12:29Minister of Energy Mohammed Al-Bashir pointed out that the ministry
00:12:33is looking into distributing four or five refineries in
00:12:36Deir ez-Zor, Homs, and Aleppo with a capacity of about
00:12:395,000 barrels per day for each, which
00:12:43will contribute to covering the market's needs, in addition to
00:12:47the Baniyas
00:12:48refinery.
00:12:59Since liberation until today, security
00:13:03authorities in Syria have seized more than 700 million
00:13:07Captagon pills and 15
00:13:10tons of hashish as part of a continuous
00:13:13approach to combat the scourge of drugs, with which
00:13:16Syria's name was associated during the years of the defunct
00:13:20regime, when the country was the source
00:13:23of 80%
00:13:25of the Captagon in the world, in addition to closing
00:13:2817 Captagon manufacturing labs.
00:13:31Drug trafficking, smuggling and manufacturing
00:13:34networks are repeatedly busted. The latest was in
00:13:37the city of Homs. Surveillance operations lasted for
00:13:40weeks due to the danger of this network,
00:13:43which did not only trade and promote, but
00:13:46also lured young people into addiction and then pushed
00:13:50them into theft operations. The Homs
00:13:54Anti-Narcotics Branch, in cooperation with the Special Tasks Force
00:13:58Branch, carried out a raid
00:14:01on the gang's dens, which led to an armed
00:14:04clash that resulted in neutralizing or neutralizing
00:14:07the network leader and his deputy
00:14:09and arresting nine of its members.
00:14:14seized 23 thousand Captagon
00:14:17pills and 12 kilograms of hashish
00:14:20and a quantity of crystal methamphetamine, in addition
00:14:24to various items. However, the price
00:14:27of this operation was high, as the young man
00:14:31Al-Mu'tasim Billah Ahmed died as a martyr,
00:14:34who was one of the members of the First Regiment of the Special
00:14:37Tasks Force during the clash.
00:14:40He was laid to rest in his hometown of
00:15:13How did you comment on social
00:15:17news? Our first comment is from Hassan
00:15:20Al-Mahmoud who wrote on Facebook, "Hassan, may God have mercy on the security
00:15:24man who gave his most precious possession, his soul,
00:15:27for us to enjoy and for the children of the nation to enjoy
00:15:30a clean environment free from crime and drugs. May God have
00:15:34mercy on him with His vast mercy."
00:15:38Toumeh commented, "Drug gangs must be struck with an iron
00:15:41fist to protect the youth of the nation from this scourge
00:15:45that destroys the mind, body, and society."
00:15:48Afraa wrote on X, commenting, "All habits
00:15:52and trade flourished and thrived at the hands of the
00:15:55defunct regime. Thank you for the efforts of the
00:15:57Ministry of Interior to cleanse Syria of all the legacy
00:16:01of the defunct regime." Alaa Al-Basha
00:16:04says, "Our children are our most
00:16:08precious possession. The minds of our children are the national wealth
00:16:11that we will not allow smuggling and trafficking gangs
00:16:14to destroy. Protecting them is a duty for every
00:16:17citizen who cares about the interest of the country
00:16:20and its people."
00:16:22The last comment is from Mustafa Al-Senoussi who wrote on Facebook,
00:16:26"Drugs are the plague of the present and the cancer
00:16:30of the modern era. Therefore, all
00:16:33officials and the general public should care about
00:16:36this matter. Its eradication requires
00:16:39us all to cooperate in eliminating this scourge. Parents
00:16:42have the responsibility of upbringing, and the competent
00:16:45authorities have the responsibility of combating trade and holding traders
00:16:49accountable according to the means of
00:16:53law and human
00:16:54rights."
00:16:59The Anti-Narcotics Department was able to seize more than
00:17:031.2 million Captagon pills during the first
00:17:06half of this September, of which
00:17:0931,000 pills came from
00:17:13Lebanon and were intended for smuggling to neighboring countries.
00:17:28Dear viewer, what is the most prominent thing that can be transported by sea?
00:17:31Food, wheat, etc. When
00:17:35we see a ship of this
00:17:37size,
00:17:40what comes to your mind is the transport of goods
00:17:43and the large quantities that can be shipped by sea through it,
00:17:47and how it will benefit the country. But
00:17:51what if this ship was dedicated to transporting
00:17:54livestock? Yesterday, the General Authority for Ports
00:17:58and Customs announced the conversion of the Transporter ship
00:18:01into a livestock carrier in the port
00:18:05of Latakia. What was remarkable in the story
00:18:08is that the renovation process was completed
00:18:11by Syrian hands. This conversion process made
00:18:14some link the event to Syria's role as a transit
00:18:18corridor for livestock movement, as Syria's geographical
00:18:21location makes it an important corridor between
00:18:25many countries such as Gulf countries and Iraq
00:18:29A while ago, a shipment of more than
00:18:321000 Brazilian calves arrived in
00:18:34Syria before heading by land
00:18:37to Iraq, which means that
00:18:41shipments can have great importance
00:18:44and economic benefit. But
00:18:48how was this large ship converted into
00:18:51a specialized livestock carrier, and how
00:18:58here after the liberation of our country,
00:19:02and by the grace of God, it was completed in a short
00:19:05period through national expertise and competencies.
00:19:08The project was entirely in Syrian hands, 100%.
00:19:12The Transporter ship, thank God, has been equipped with
00:19:16integrated systems and the best systems that are installed
00:19:20on livestock transport ships. After
00:19:23the completion of this ship, and especially since it is not the first, and God
00:19:26willing, it will not be the last, we feel proud that
00:19:30such work and such quality are coming out of
00:19:32our country. So the rehabilitation process
00:19:36and indeed the completion of this work, but work
00:19:39of this size requires facilities and procedures from
00:19:43more than one party until it is completed. And the General
00:19:46Directorate of Customs and Ports was one of the parties
00:19:55the General Directorate of Ports
00:19:58and Customs, many facilities, most notably
00:20:01the transit issue. We
00:20:05the Transporter ship
00:20:07are foreign raw materials. They helped us with the transit
00:20:11and its entry to the port of Latakia
00:20:14this work without any shortcomings or delays
00:20:17in the work. The conversion process was completed,
00:20:21and the ship is ready for operation. But the most important question
00:20:24now is what is the capacity of this carrier
00:20:28and what is its total
00:20:35the project of converting the Transporter ship into a livestock
00:20:38carrier over an area of about 11
00:20:41thousand square meters, spread over nine decks and with a capacity
00:20:45of about 8000 head of livestock.
00:20:48The ship and its pier operate all
00:20:52year round without any impact or obstruction to general
00:20:56maritime and commercial navigation. The package also
00:21:00included support through supporting guidance
00:21:03and towing services, and allocating a part of the warehouses with an area
00:21:06of 4000 square meters, in addition
00:21:10to heavy and light machinery, and facilities for
00:21:14the entry of more than 200 workers on a daily
00:21:16basis. So, this news received
00:21:20a great reaction on social media platforms. How
00:21:23did you comment? The first comment is from Mirna on Facebook.
00:21:26She says, "This is a big and important step that
00:21:30a ship of this size and from our ports will depart. If
00:21:33things like this continue, the export situation will definitely
00:21:36improve." Lamia commented
00:21:39and said on Facebook, "Syria, especially the island
00:21:42of Arwad, has experience and ancient history in the manufacture of boats
00:21:46and small ships. And surely when they are
00:21:51in this field, they are creative. May their hands
00:21:54be blessed, and we hope to reach the stage of exporting
00:21:58livestock."
00:22:00Essam commented and said, "A major step that supports the national economy
00:22:04and opens new horizons for Syrian ports.
00:22:07We are proud of Syrian national expertise. God bless
00:22:10you." Mohamed from Egypt commented
00:22:14and said, "This is not strange for Syria. I know
00:22:19Baniyas and Tartus, may God bless
00:22:24the industry and have great experience in ship modification. All
00:22:28the best." And our last comment is from Kholoud on
00:22:31Facebook, she says, "The return of transit through the port
00:22:34of Latakia is not just a transportation movement, but
00:22:38a clear indicator of the recovery of the economic structure and the return
00:22:42of confidence in Syrian transit lines. All the best
00:22:45to all efforts made, and God willing, the future will bring
00:22:49greater opportunities to enhance Syria's position on the map
00:22:52of international trade."
00:24:13Today we are opening the Consular Services Office in
00:24:16office is the third office to be opened
00:24:48is the fourth office that has been opened inside
00:24:51Syria after the offices of Idlib, Hama, and Deir

00:24:59stand by the citizen.
00:25:20Those beautiful lands that taught the world the meaning of civilization
00:25:23and the value of peaceful coexistence
00:25:26to become a beacon for
00:25:29the world to follow.
00:25:32Syria of civilization, Syria
00:25:34of history.
00:25:37Al-Sham is the trust of Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah
00:25:41and Khalid ibn
00:25:42al-Walid.
00:25:46The Syrian state is the only one capable
00:25:50of preserving its prestige and sovereignty in every
00:25:53part of Syrian territory.
