Global Leaders Discuss Syria's Transition and Reconstruction at Paris Conference

The international community pledges support for Syria's political transition and rebuilding efforts following the fall of the Assad regime.

Syria's transition government, led by Ahmed al-Scharaa, plans to introduce a more inclusive cabinet on March 1, aiming to represent the country's ethnic and religious diversity.
The Paris conference brought together international leaders, including representatives from the EU, G7, and Arab states, to coordinate humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts for Syria.
France and other nations advocate for a phased easing of sanctions to facilitate Syria's economic recovery while ensuring democratic progress.
Concerns remain over the influence of former Islamist factions in the transition government and ongoing violence in northern Syria involving Kurdish forces and Turkey-backed groups.
The estimated cost of rebuilding Syria's war-torn infrastructure ranges from $250 to $400 billion, with significant international contributions required for sustainable recovery.
