EU coordinates international support for the recovery of Syria’s economy and reconstruction process

The European Commission, together with the Syrian Transitional Authorities, hosted today the Syria Partnership Coordination Forum in Brussels. This meeting further delivered on the main commitments of the Forum: coordinating and aligning all international efforts on aid, reconstruction, and development with Syria’s recovery priorities.

After years of devastation under the Assad regime, Syria's socio-economic recovery and reconstruction needs are immense. The EU continues to use its expertise and convening power to support Syria in reviving its economy and bringing communities back together. Today’s meeting offered concrete steps towards these objectives. The Forum, co-chaired by Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Šuica and the Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani, brought together representatives from Member States, partner countries, the United Nations, and major financial organisations.

The meeting reaffirmed the EU’s unwavering commitment to a genuinely inclusive and peaceful transition, prioritising the needs and aspirations of all Syrians, to secure a stable, prosperous future for the country and the wider region.
