Washington, SANA –
Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stressed the importance of achieving stability and economic prosperity in Syria.
This came during her meeting Thursday with Foreign Minister and Expatriates Asaad al-Shaibani, in the presence of the U.S. Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack and a group of senators from both parties.
During the meeting, the leaders gathered stressed the common interest between the United States and Syria in achieving a stable and economically prosperous Syria, and the importance of Syria’s future for achieving regional stability, and pointed out that sanctions hinder urgent and necessary investment in Syria’s economy.
Senator Shaheen, who introduced bipartisan legislation to lift sanctions on Syria, warned of the risk of inaction, saying: “The Syrian economy is in crisis, and its authorities need financial resources to maintain basic governance functions.”
Shaheen added: “If we slow down in moving, we risk pushing the Syrians back into conflict, which is in no one’s interest except Russia and Iran, and we have little chance of putting Syria on a path of stability and prosperity,” stressing that members of the last bipartisan parliamentary delegation that recently visited Syria, in addition to senior U.S. administration officials, agreed that the time has come for the Senate to move to cancel the Caesar Act sanctions imposed on Syria”.
