Minister of Oil and Mineral Resources Ghiath Diab welcomed the European Union’s decision to lift sanctions on the energy sector in Syria, which came in light of the historical developments that Syria has been witnessed after the fall of the former regime.

Diab added that the European Union’s decision to lift
sanctions represents a positive step towards rebuilding the national economy and enhancing stability in Syria, as the energy sector is one of the main pillars that can contribute to the reconstruction of Syria.

Diab called on companies that previously worked in the oil
sector to return to Syria and contribute to the development of this vital sector with their expertise and investments, which will play an important role in achieving development and advancing the oil and gas sectors.

“We are confident that Syria, with its rich resources and the
will of its people, will regain its position in the energy field, overcoming all current difficulties and challenges,” Diab said in a statement to SANA.
