Agenda: Deliberating on Revitalising the Infrastructure and Development in Syria.
Syria’s prolonged conflict has left the nation’s infrastructure in ruins, severely hindering its recovery and long-term development. With millions displaced and widespread devastation, rebuilding efforts face immense challenges, including political divisions, inadequate funding, and security concerns. Efforts must focus on ensuring access to basic services, rebuilding key sectors such as healthcare and education, and promoting economic recovery. A unified approach, based on humanitarian principles and international support, is crucial for Syria’s stable and prosperous future.
