The Paris Conference Forms a Working Group to Support Syria

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced that the participants in the Paris conference on Syria have agreed to form a working group to coordinate efforts to support Syria.

“On the sidelines of the conference, we were able to bring together a number of creditors, who decided to work under the supervision of the United Nations to form a working group to better coordinate their efforts and ensure complementarity among them, so that they can better serve the Syrian state and the Syrian people,” Noel Barrot said at a press conference yesterday at the end of the conference.

The French Foreign Minister pointed to the need to work to achieve the economic renaissance in Syria, exhausted by the former regime, and there is also the issue of the return of displaced people and refugees.

Noel Barrot indicated that France has provided the opportunity for Syrian refugees on its territory to benefit from obtaining a license that allows them to visit their country temporarily, without losing asylum status or international protection.
