The Syrian Future Movement values the official visit undertaken by the President of the Syrian Arab Republic, Mr. Ahmad Al-Shara‘, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. As‘ad Al-Shibani, to the United Arab Emirates today, Sunday, 2025-04-14. The Movement considers this visit a significant and advanced step toward solidifying the policy of positive openness and restoring Syria’s natural role in the region and the world.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that the visit carries profound implications on several levels:
It affirms the political and diplomatic openness adopted by the new Syrian state, in alignment with the Syrian people’s aspirations for balanced relations based on mutual respect and shared interests.
It reflects Syria’s regional repositioning within its Arab surroundings, away from sterile polarizations, and along a path that restores Syria’s position as a key player in economic, political, and security affairs.
It opens prospects for investment and development cooperation between Syria and the UAE, particularly in reconstruction, energy, infrastructure, and education — thus enhancing the opportunities for comprehensive economic revival within Syria.
It allows Syria to benefit from the Emirati experience in governance and sustainable development, especially in light of shared visions regarding the importance of a civil state, institutional empowerment, and achieving stability through economic and knowledge-based development rather than conflict.
It supports the path of regional reconciliation and the strengthening of collective security, aligning with the UAE’s stance toward defusing tensions and opening channels of dialogue — a path that intersects with President Al-Shara‘’s vision of building new regional balances that preserve national sovereignty and uphold the dignity of peoples.
The Syrian Future Movement affirms that Syria’s conscious presence in the Arab and international arenas can only be achieved through a flexible foreign policy — one that is rooted in firm principles, wisely navigates change, and opens channels with all parties without compromise or dependency.
The Syrian Future Movement is confident that this visit will mark a turning point in Syria’s relations with its Arab brethren and will lead to strengthened partnerships between Damascus and Abu Dhabi across various fields.
