We welcome and support the agreement reached between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), aimed at halting hostilities, integrating military and administrative institutions, safeguarding the civil and educational rights of the Kurdish people, and facilitating the return of the refugees to their homes.
This agreement represents a right and significant step toward achieving a peaceful resolution and bringing the conflict to an end. We have consistently emphasized that dialogue, mutual understanding, and political solutions are the sole pathways to reaching a sustainable resolution that serves the interests of all parties.
The agreement will lay a solid foundation for stability, social harmony, and peaceful coexistence among the communities. We are hopeful that it will pave the way for the reconstruction of a unified Syria, the protection of the rights of the Kurds and all communities in the forthcoming constitution, and the achievement of peace for Syria and the wider region.
