Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, announcing that his country is rebuilding after years of war and calling on the international community to support the process.
In his speech, Sharaa recalled the hardships endured by the Syrian people under the former Bashar al-Assad regime, stating that the nation is now “writing a new chapter titled peace, stability, and prosperity.” He also reaffirmed Syria’s commitment to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Israel and urged the global community to respect the country’s sovereignty.
The Syrian leader outlined the destruction, chemical attacks, and forced displacements suffered over the years, while highlighting the political and economic reforms implemented by the new administration.
Sharaa emphasised that Syria has transitioned from being a country exporting crises to a regional opportunity for stability and development. This address marks Syria’s first representation at the UN General Assembly since 1967.
During his speech, the President expressed gratitude to Türkiye, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United States, the European Union, and other Arab and Islamic countries. He also reiterated Syria’s position on relations with Israel regarding the Golan Heights and the importance of regional stability.
The new transitional administration was formed in January, following Assad’s ousting, and has been pursuing social cohesion, political and economic reforms, as well as regional and international cooperation initiatives.
