The Syrian Future Movement is following with great interest and appreciation the launch of the Syrian-British Business Council (SBBC) conference, held on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at the Golden Mezzeh Hotel in Damascus, under the theme “Building a Diversified Economy.” The conference is being attended by representatives from several Syrian ministries and economic stakeholders from both countries, as well as the Chairman of the Syrian-British Business Council, Munther Nuzha, British Members of Parliament Melanie Ward and Alan Gemmell, and the Minister of Economy and Industry, Nidal al-Shaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This step comes amidst escalating diplomatic and economic momentum and embodies a genuine desire on both sides to move beyond the current phase of anticipation and build a comprehensive strategic partnership that fulfills the aspirations of both peoples and strengthens economic and developmental cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First<\/strong>: The Syrian Future Movement appreciates the convening of this conference and commends the efforts exerted by both sides to reach this level of cooperation, considering it a reflection of the growing international interest in economic and investment opportunities in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement also commends this step, which ends years of economic isolation, returns Syria to the international business map, and confirms that Syria possesses promising investment potential thanks to its strategic geographic location and its capabilities in the transport, energy, tourism, industry, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also see in this international interest, and in the statement by Council Chairman Munther Nuzha, who affirmed that “the broad participation of delegations from the United Kingdom and other countries reflects the growing international interest in economic and investment opportunities in Syria,” evidence that Syria is regaining its natural position as a destination for investment and business, and that the government’s efforts to improve the business environment are beginning to bear fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For our part, we particularly appreciate the conference’s focus on financial development, energy, the urban environment, logistics, and education, which contributes to supporting economic diversification efforts and stimulating economic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second<\/strong>: The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in transferring knowledge, expertise, and technology, and in establishing genuine international partnerships between the public and private sectors, which contributes to building a diversified and sustainable economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement notes that the Speaker of Parliament stressed that “rebuilding the Syrian economy does not depend solely on capital, but also requires the transfer of knowledge, expertise, technology, and modern management, as well as the establishment of genuine international partnerships between the public and private sectors.” Therefore, we commend this approach, which strengthens economic integration, contributes to creating new job opportunities, and stimulates innovation and competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement recalls that this conference comes amidst a growing economic momentum, manifested in the resumption of Syria’s participation in the World Customs Organization (June 26, 2026), the signing of a reinsurance agreement with the British Lloyds market (June 25, 2026), and the launch of a series of specialized Syrian exhibitions (July 1, 2026), which reinforces Syria’s position as an active partner in the global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Third: The Syrian Future Movement reiterates its firm positions supporting the development of the economic sector and strengthening Syria’s standing in international forums, as published on its official website.
