00:00:00what the Prime Minister
00:00:04talked about is that we are ready as an infrastructure for transporting
00:00:07Iraqi oil, in tankers, Iraqi oil
00:00:11in Iraqi tankers, other than Iraqi fuel, other than Iraqi fuel in tankers
00:00:14as well. So, we are in discussions with
00:00:18the Iraqi side for more than four months. So, we
00:00:22don't have the infrastructure to receive Iraqi oil.
00:00:25So, we prepared a site at the refinery for oil transportation in Homs, the director
00:00:31it facilitates a lot for the Gulf countries, for of the central region. And we prepared
00:00:33in the Nasiriyah area, east of Homs, with 60
00:00:38daily, employed a large number of huge sites. These
00:00:41in the region. are now ready to receive any
00:00:43additional oil coming from Iraq.
00:00:45In the field, So, the 1500, 1200, 1500 tankers
00:00:49are ready for unloading in Homs and Nasiriyah. Of course, why
00:00:52did we choose Homs and Nasiriyah? To prevent
00:00:55traffic jams and reduce the burden on roads
00:00:58and accidents in the coastal and tourist areas.
00:01:02So, we shortened the distance,
00:01:07the sky countries, countries in the region, we shortened the traffic crisis in Homs and Nasiriyah. In Homs
00:01:09and Nasiriyah, there are two locations, for example, 700 tankers here and 700
00:01:12tankers there. And from Homs and Nasiriyah,
00:01:15it is immediately pumped to Tartus. Of course, the word "preparation"
00:01:18is not an ordinary word. It is a word that means studies,
00:01:22sleepless nights, and 24-hour work. Okay,
00:01:26the third part of the external projects that you entered regarding
00:01:37Let's finish this section. It's the pipeline from Basra to Baniyas. This is a very old line. It is 75 years old.
00:01:41It is out of service. It is corroded,
00:01:44destroyed. The stations that
00:01:47were destroyed by air bombardment
00:01:51and a part of it was stolen. So, we put
00:01:54a vision and coordination with the Iraqi
00:01:57Ahmed, we met people in side, and several online meetings were held, and in the end, we reached
00:02:00a memorandum of understanding with four companies that I mentioned to you. Yes.
00:02:04closer than Building a new line. The companies are Chevron American,
00:02:08TE Capital, Total Energies France,
00:02:11and UC Qatar. So, the memorandum
00:02:14of understanding was signed
00:02:17for the beginning of the construction of the line. The line, of course,
00:02:20is a giant project. 1520 km
00:02:24in diameter.
00:02:2640 or 42 inches. So, it's a very giant project.
00:02:30This is a strategic pipeline connection. This is strategic from
00:02:33Iraq to Baniyas, to Baniyas.
00:02:36Currently, it is expected to be two million barrels per day. This
00:02:41this talk you're talking about is its capacity, two million barrels per day. Its pumping. This is still
00:02:44the student and introduce them a memorandum of understanding, a memorandum of understanding. But it will be reflected as a contract
00:02:48in the ninth or tenth
00:02:51month. Yes. And its implementation
00:02:54will take time. We have set 36 months, or
00:02:5836 months is possible as a technical study with
00:03:02implementation, 36 months. So,
00:03:05it will take time. Until then,
00:03:09does not allow connection except in the tankers are working and ready for one
00:03:12million barrels per day. There was another line, the second
00:03:16line, this is internal. It connected
00:03:19the Rumeilan fields to
00:03:22Baniyas in Homs. There is an old line called the Lentil line,
00:03:25or the heavy oil line. Of course, this
00:03:28line has many violations. More than 1400
00:03:31violations. All stations are bombed
00:03:35and destroyed. So, we,
00:03:37towards any citizen in with local and technical cadres, started maintaining
00:03:41it. Currently, we have exceeded more than
00:03:4390%. So, if everything
00:03:47is ready, we started filling it. This has become
00:03:50an internal internal one for
00:03:53the Syrian عبار. We filled more than
00:03:56300 km from the line experimentally, and we are continuing to fill it. So that
00:04:00in a short period, we will operate it and use
00:04:04tankers to transport from the fields
00:04:07should talk down to the people. The people were smarter than to Baniyas and Tartus
00:04:10through this pipe. This will be an alternative. This will increase, this will not increase
00:04:13production. It will facilitate transportation, it will facilitate transportation, it will reduce crises, it will reduce
00:04:17problems. There is no, there is no increase. Of course, it saves
00:04:20a lot of transportation costs. It is very expensive. Of course,
00:04:23we also conducted a study
00:04:26to replace it with a new one later.
00:04:30Replacement, yes, replacement so that we expect, God willing, that
00:04:33oil in eastern Syria, northeastern Syria, will
00:04:37increase. So, we need to prepare a new
00:04:40pipe to accommodate this increase. Okay, of course,
00:04:44we have also included it now in tenders. The tender will close
00:04:47on October
00:04:50included an amendment to export 4th, a tender for this line, for this line. Okay, when
00:04:53US President Donald Trump talks about
00:04:57Syria potentially being an alternative to the
00:05:00Strait of Hormuz in case it is completely closed,
00:05:02From this what does he mean by that?
00:05:04He means the strategic
00:05:08location of Syria from the practical lines on
00:05:11the ground. Practical lines are the American
00:05:14and international companies that came to invest
00:05:18in the oil sector in Syria, and what
00:05:21will they do? This gives you two indicators:
00:05:24an indicator of a safe environment
00:05:27for investment and a very fertile investment environment
00:05:30for companies and businessmen.
00:05:34Of course, this could be an alternative
00:05:36to the Strait of Hormuz
00:05:39or
00:05:43Iraq, and it's cheaper than transporting it from the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of
00:05:47Mandeb to the Suez Canal. So, you have
00:05:50a lot of distance saved for the oil that will go to
00:05:53Europe. And this means new lines
00:05:57for oil transportation, gas, and so on. Exactly.
00:06:00The signs of that have begun. There are discussions with several countries that we will not
00:06:04mention currently to also
00:06:07connect energy lines within the territories of the Syrian
00:06:10Arab Republic. What are energy lines? Energy lines mean gas and oil.
00:06:14Gas and oil, yes. International
00:06:18in the region, are holding discussions with Syria. Exactly.
00:06:22To benefit from Syria's location and the facilities available in Syria
00:06:26to export products. But this will take time.
00:06:28So, everything happens with time. This will take time to implement these
00:06:32projects. At least, we are talking about three years, meaning two or three years.
00:06:36This is not the age of oil. A very short age. But now,
00:06:39reliance on tankers is good. Okay.
00:06:43And marine supplies are also working.
00:06:46Regarding ports,
00:06:49plans to develop ports that
00:06:52can accommodate this energy, meaning import
00:06:56and export as well. We have set a line. We have two ports
00:07:00for exporting oil and oil derivatives: Baniyas
00:07:04and Tartus. In Baniyas,
00:07:06we re-studied the establishment of an international
00:07:10pier, for example, Dubai or
00:07:12Fujairah or and in Tartus
00:07:15we will also use the SPM
00:07:19system. This also secures a connection
00:07:23with a capacity for unloading and loading of approximately
00:07:26two million barrels per day. Yes. So, God willing, once
00:07:30this project is implemented, we will not have any connection
00:07:33problems at all. Okay, let's go back to
00:07:36the citizen. From these major projects at the regional and global
00:07:40levels, international statements about them
00:07:44translate into the citizen's reality today when he says,
00:07:47I mean, when someone comes
00:07:50and says, "Ultimately,
00:07:53will take two or three years, and I don't know,
00:07:57and it's all just memorandums
00:08:00of understanding. We haven't seen anything. In the end, I am
00:08:03buying a liter of diesel for 175, 150,
00:08:07115." What is the answer? Of course,
00:08:11the citizen needs to understand exactly what
00:08:14these challenges
00:08:17are that we have. The reason for the
00:08:20increased fuel prices in the recent period, and people haven't understood
00:08:23it. I'm with them. The public needs help.
00:08:27But what are the challenges that made us raise this price?
00:08:31We have the price of global oil that has increased. The insurance
00:08:35of derivatives
00:08:38has become very difficult. The price of derivatives, diesel, gasoline,
00:08:41and gas, has increased due to the bombing
00:08:45of refineries in many countries in the world, in Russia,
00:08:48in the Gulf. So, the price of derivatives has increased, in addition
00:08:52to the increase in oil prices. In return,
00:08:56there was a problem with the Strait of Hormuz, which increased the cost
00:08:58of shipping for ships.
00:09:01So, a ship that used to take a certain amount
00:09:05increased its price fivefold. All of this was reflected
00:09:08in your sector, transportation.
00:09:12All of it increased the price, meaning what is related
00:09:15to prices or the daily reality
00:09:19for the citizen is that there are complex
00:09:22transportation operations taking place in the world. True, it increased fivefold,
00:09:26almost fivefold. Exactly. The
00:09:30fourth issue is that we have the Baniyas refinery
00:09:33that also stopped due to maintenance. It hasn't had major
00:09:37maintenance for 20 or 30 years.
00:09:40So, we reached a stage where we had
00:09:43to stop it. We were forced to stop it because
00:09:47if it didn't stop, it would cause bigger problems. The distillation towers
00:09:50and reactors would be destroyed. So, we had to
00:09:54perform maintenance on it to increase its efficiency from 80
00:09:57or 85 thousand barrels to 130,000. Of course, this
00:10:01will be completed within two months. So, God willing, this
00:10:05will help reduce prices. Okay, the transportation
00:10:08process, which was perhaps
00:10:12the focus of our discussion with you, Mr.
00:10:14Ahmed, is Syria now a solution in the region
00:10:18for the transportation process? Can we say that it is also a solution
00:10:21to a global crisis? Syria, with its location
00:10:25and what it is moving towards, and that it will be
00:10:27a solution to a global crisis
00:10:31in oil supply and transportation, not global, but in the Middle
00:10:34East. Yes, in the Middle East. Yes, in the Middle
00:10:37East, Syria, with its location, is a solution for many countries around the world
00:10:41regarding derivatives. How will this be reflected
00:10:45in the citizen's reality? Of course, all of this will reflect a very
00:10:48good income for Syria. How, how?
00:10:51Please explain it simply. I want to give you a practical
00:10:55example right now. The Iraqi fuel tankers that
00:10:58you saw, the 1200 tankers that we are unloading
00:11:03workers
00:11:06Everyone in the region benefited. The water seller
00:11:10benefited, the food seller
00:11:13benefited, the bread seller benefited, the normal taxi
00:11:17that transports. So, you have daily, for example, 1200
00:11:21drivers with 1200 escorts who come
00:11:24to buy, to eat, to buy. This is one of the simple aspects that this
00:11:28small project moved the entire region, in addition
00:11:31to securing income for the state, meaning there is good income from
00:11:35it. Of course, this income supported the state budget
00:11:38and a good dollar revenue
00:11:41for the state. And where does this budget go? Where
00:11:45does this budget go to establish and renovate
00:11:48the dilapidated infrastructure in the Syrian Arab Republic, especially the sector
00:11:51and the SPC sector?
00:12:01So, we have, I mean, started on the right track. We have
00:12:05started. We need a short time.
00:12:09It needs patience. How much have people
00:12:12suffered? Those who have borne 15 years must
00:12:15bear it. I mean, that's what people say. We are speaking
00:12:19on their behalf because, truly, Mr.
00:12:22the street and asked them and came to you.
00:12:25Everyone has the right. People
00:12:27are tired, but there is nothing more that can be done.
00:12:31The staff at the Syrian Petroleum Company works 24
00:12:34hours a day, from the CEO to the smallest
00:12:38worker, in addition to our brothers in the Ministry
00:12:41of Energy. A beehive
00:12:44of real work. We are talking about the number of employees
00:12:47in the sectors and what they do, especially those with you in the transportation
00:12:50sector. I mean, no one is
00:12:54sitting around. All the numbers that are currently
00:12:57working when we talk about preparing a site in
00:13:01Homs, for example, a site in Homs, meaning
00:13:04200 people will work there.
00:13:08To be completed within 15
00:13:10days. Currently, on the oil pipeline at the Syrian Company
00:13:14for Oil Transport in the desert,
00:13:17currently, I have 240 employees with permanent
00:13:20residency, meaning their shifts are changed at the site. They are
00:13:24like mobile camps, and their food
00:13:27is simple, and the connection operations
00:13:30are 24 hours a day. Our system
00:13:34the daytime, from first light to last light. But
00:13:37we have overcome that and installed
00:13:40lighting and bypassed the instructions of the factories, and we are
00:13:43connecting 24 hours a day. Any transfer that comes at any moment, we connect it.
00:13:47So, the work is at
00:13:50the highest levels of technology
00:13:53and follow-up. And God willing, we have no shortcomings, and we
00:13:57are, of course, this is our duty, and we are not doing anyone a favor, and we are not falling short
00:14:02the Syrian Arab Republic who has given more than us. May God bless you. Thank
00:14:06you for your efforts. Thank you for these points that you clarified
00:14:10for us, Mr. Ahmed. Truly, and we hope to always
00:14:13see progress with you. We will visit you again to see the facilities, to see
00:14:17more tanks, and to see in six months. Visit us,
00:14:21and you will see a big difference. In two years, this talk will be
00:14:25fully documented. In six months, what will happen in six months? You will see
00:14:29new tanks. Yes. Tanks. In two years,
00:14:32what we talked about will be a practical reality
00:14:36and productive in the country. Mr. Ahmed Qubaji, Deputy
00:14:40CEO for Transport and Distribution at the Syrian
00:14:43Petroleum Company. Thank you very much for all this information that you provided
00:14:47us. Thank you. Welcome.
00:15:59The graduation of this course embodies an aspect of modern
00:16:03Syria's vision in empowering the role of women and strengthening
00:16:06their effective participation in the process of building
00:16:09and development.
00:16:13The graduation of this course comes as a new step in
00:16:17strengthening their presence in police work and opening
00:16:20the way for them to perform their responsibilities in building the state
00:16:24and society. Syrian women have presented a bright
00:16:27image of patience, steadfastness, and sacrifice,
00:16:29and have proven their ability to bear
00:16:32responsibility.
00:16:41We have chosen a path that requires courage, discipline,
00:16:44and sincerity, so be up to this
00:16:46responsibility.
00:16:55I swear by Almighty God, I swear by Almighty God,
00:16:59that I will be loyal
00:17:02to Syria, the Syrian Arab Republic,
00:17:05the Syrian Arab Republic,
00:17:10in protecting the homeland, in protecting the homeland,
00:17:14and loving the
00:17:22people. For years, the flag has been a witness to our continuous
00:17:26attempts
00:17:27to survive,
00:17:31present in every detail
00:17:33of our story,
00:17:35on the coffins of martyrs,
00:17:38and in moments when death was
00:17:42life.
00:17:45And today, it returns as a witness to our great
00:17:49victory.
00:17:52We carry it as children, dreaming,
00:17:56and as adults, weighed down by the weariness
00:17:59of the journey.
00:18:01We hang it on the windows
00:18:03of houses,
00:18:05we raise it on our shoulders, and we decorate all
00:18:09squares with it, so that the story may be complete.
00:19:09A demarcation tape surrounds the crime
00:19:12scene,
00:19:15and the story of uncovering the truth begins.
00:19:18A camera documents,
00:19:22and vigilance precedes
00:19:24the steps.
00:19:29Organization guides criminal work towards accurate
00:19:33investigation and institutional performance,
00:19:37comprehensive across all
00:19:39governorates.
00:19:42Eyes monitor and search, uncovering hidden
00:19:45threads so that every saboteur and perpetrator
00:19:48receives their just deserts.
00:19:52Criminal investigations, where law prevails
00:19:56and justice
00:19:57is achieved.
00:20:04In confronting organized and cybercrimes,
00:20:08a strong international will stands firm to dismantle
00:20:12the causes of crime. Syria
00:20:14enters a new national phase in which it seeks to
00:20:18rebuild state institutions on
00:20:21the basis of the rule of law and protection of society. The
00:20:2415th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention in the Emirati
00:20:28capital Abu Dhabi gathers decision-makers to dismantle
00:20:31security challenges and establish a new
00:20:35charter for protecting communities.
00:20:39international event, Syria embodies its vision
00:20:43and determination to build a state governed by
00:20:47law. Our conference is held today
00:20:50at a stage witnessing profound transformations in the nature
00:20:53of crime and the means of committing it.
00:20:56The Syrian Arab Republic looks forward to the Abu Dhabi
00:21:00Declaration establishing a new phase of joint international
00:21:03action in which commitments are transformed into practical cooperation.
00:22:34Foreign relations are, of course, very important for Syria's return to the international
00:22:38community, and the meeting was very
00:22:40good.
00:22:44It gave us a complete and comprehensive
00:22:48picture of the future.
00:23:29Today, we are at your academic destination forum two, the goal of which is to guide
00:23:34to the departments so that they can choose their specialization correctly.
00:23:37The student's desire is the basis for their enrollment
00:23:43and creativity.
00:23:45I heard about the academic activities
00:23:53and came to see more specializations, to see if I
00:23:57could find something else other than pharmacy. Welcome to the Syrian
00:24:36Story podcast on Syrian News TV.
00:26:33Arab Army, the protector and impenetrable shield of the homeland.
00:26:37On their shoulders lies the greatest
00:26:41responsibility: preserving the safety of the land
00:26:43and the well-being of the people.
00:26:48you will find the infantry on high alert.
00:26:51While at sea,
00:26:54the naval forces maintain full vigilance
00:26:57to guard the coasts and protect territorial
00:27:01waters.
00:27:02Meanwhile, the eagles of the air soar in
00:27:09to protect it against any
00:27:13aggression.
00:27:16From their sacrifices, we draw hope,
00:27:19and with their determination, Syria remains strong
00:27:22and impregnable, so that the flag of Syria
00:27:25remains high and proud. The Syrian Arab
00:27:29Army, a symbol of pride and dignity.
00:28:31Implementation of the project. And rehabilitation of Granada Bridge.
00:28:51Work will begin on the Mayadeen
00:28:54Bridge.
00:29:04Technical services machinery, in cooperation with emergency
00:29:08and disaster workshops, is rehabilitating and restoring the earthen
00:29:11bridge.
00:29:14We are in the final stages of the rehabilitation work on Al-Rasheed Bridge.
00:30:17Welcome to the news summary. His Excellency President Ahmed Al-Shara issued Decree
00:30:21No. 188 of 2026, which amends a number
00:30:25of items in the harmonized customs tariff schedule
00:30:28adopted by Decree No. 110 of 2026, in terms of description,
00:30:33coding, and duty rates and application
00:30:36conditions, based on the proposal of the Customs Tariff Council.
00:30:39The amendments include a reduction in import duties on
00:30:42a number of items, most notably equipment
00:30:45used in wind power generation and a number
00:30:48of medical devices. It also
00:30:52duties for olive oil, and also included an amendment to several
00:30:56other items.
