In a press statement upon his arrival in Syria, Mr. Qala confirmed that Syria today is in need of all expatriates to contribute to the restoration of the infrastructure and start the reconstruction phase, pointing out “that the Syrian currency that was smuggled and stolen must be turned to the home to supply the state treasury.”

Mr. Qala pointed out that ” Syrian businessmen, investors and expatriates are supporting their country in foreign currency,” noting that the Syrian expatriates, in the last period through the means of social communication, made campaigns to support the Syrian pound through the work of remittances to the homeland or deposits in foreign currency in their accounts with licensed banks in Syria.

The initiative among many initiatives launched by Syrian expatriates comes to support the Syrian pound and the national economy.

He pointed out that the Syrian diplomatic mission plays an important role to facilitate procedures of the Syrian community in the UAE and legal affairs.
