Türkiye, Belgium agree on financial need for Syria’s reconstruction

Published on

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan emphasized on Thursday the need for swift economic, financial, and commercial support for Syria’s reconstruction during a joint press conference with Belgian Foreign Minister Bernard Quintin in Ankara, XINHUA reports.

„We have reached a consensus on the necessity of providing these resources as soon as possible. Once again, we expressed our readiness to do everything within our power in this regard,” Fidan stated.

Fidan also called for the repatriation of Islamic State (IS) detainees currently held in camps and prisons in Syria by their home countries.

„Keeping them here indefinitely, without legal procedures or a clear plan for their future, has become a significant source of crisis in the region,” Fidan said.

He also emphasized the need for the interim Syrian government to take responsibility for the security of these camps and prisons as soon as possible, adding that Türkiye stands ready to offer support.

Quintin, for his part, said that Belgium could help remove sanctions but would base further actions on the steps taken by the interim Syrian government.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan (R) and Belgian Foreign Minister Bernard Quintin attend a joint press conference in Ankara, Türkiye, on Jan. 2, 2025. Fidan emphasized on Thursday the need for swift economic, financial, and commercial support for Syria’s reconstruction during a joint press conference with Quintin in Ankara.
