The Syrian Future Movement welcomes the decision by the U.S. Treasury Department issued on May 23, 2025, which involves issuing General License No. 25, granting an immediate and comprehensive exemption from the sanctions imposed on Syria.
The Syrian Future Movement views this step as a significant shift in international policy toward Syria, opening the door to a new phase of economic and investment cooperation.
The Syrian Future Movement considers that lifting the sanctions on Syria, including President Ahmad al-Shar‘ and Interior Minister Anas Khattab, as well as Syrian governmental and economic entities, reflects international recognition of the political transformations the country has witnessed. It also confirms the importance of supporting stability and reconstruction, as this decision comes in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on May 13, 2025, lifting all sanctions imposed on Syria within the framework of the “America First” strategy to support stability and reconstruction.
The Syrian Future Movement affirms that this decision should be a first step in a long path aimed at promoting economic development, achieving social justice, and ensuring a stable political environment that allows all Syrians to participate in shaping their future.
The Syrian Future Movement calls on all national forces to invest in this historic opportunity to rebuild Syria on new foundations based on partnership, cooperation, and economic openness, to serve the interests of the Syrian people and strengthen the country’s standing in the international community.
The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes the importance of coordination with regional and international partners to ensure the implementation of this decision in a manner that serves Syria’s interests, enhances investment and development opportunities, and sets the country on the path of sustainable economic recovery.
The Syrian Future Movement is closely monitoring the developments related to this decision and will work on providing insights and proposals to help achieve the maximum possible benefit from this new phase, ensuring the interests of the Syrian people and strengthening the country’s stability.
