The Syrian Future Movement welcomes the resumption of diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and the Syrian Arab Republic, and welcomes the visit of British Foreign Secretary David Lammy to Damascus and his meeting with His Excellency President Ahmad al-Shara’a on Saturday, July 5, 2025.
The Syrian Future Movement considers this step a qualitative diplomatic development, reflecting a growing recognition of the legitimacy of the political transformation the country has witnessed. It also reflects a responsible international approach to supporting stability and opening up prospects for constructive cooperation between Syria and the outside world.
The Syrian Future Movement commends the announcement of the humanitarian and economic aid package provided by the British government, emphasizing the importance of this support being directed toward empowering local communities, strengthening the role of civil society organizations, and paving the way for sustainable development initiatives.
The Syrian Future Movement calls for a dedicate international partnership to reconstruction efforts by supporting initiatives targeting the environment, education, and basic services, thus enhancing humanitarian infrastructure and climate justice.
The Syrian Future Movement also calls for lifting legislative and financial restrictions that hinder the work of national civil society organizations, while ensuring that sanctions-lifting measures do not affect perpetrators of gross human rights violations.
The Syrian Future Movement stresses the importance of opening channels for strategic dialogue between Syria and friendly countries, with the aim of building a multilateral foreign policy based on respect for sovereignty and mutual cooperation, particularly in the areas of development, environmental governance, and community protection.
The Syrian Future Movement affirms its full readiness to work with various international and local parties to build a safe, green, and prosperous future for Syria, one in which citizens are at the center of policies and decisions, individual rights are protected, and the values of transparency and accountability are entrenched.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that what we are witnessing today is not just the beginning of a diplomatic breakthrough, but rather a historic opportunity to strengthen the civil democratic process, raise the voice of reason, and embark on a new era of partnership and development.
