The SOC’s delegation, comprising Abdel Basset Abdel Latif, Bahjat Al-Atassi, Muhammad Qaddah, Najib Rahmoun, Basil Ghuneim, and Minister of Finance and Economy Abdel Hakim Al-Masri from the interim government, engaged in discussions covering various topics.
Al-Bahra provided insights into the latest developments in Syria, the ongoing political process, and the international community’s response.

Al-Bahra emphasized the active role of the Syria Recovery Trust Fund in facilitating economic recovery and development through financing projects implemented by the Syrian Interim Government. He pointed out the fund’s focus on supporting sectors such as education, health, electricity, water, and food security to alleviate the Syrian people’s suffering.
Al-Bahra addressed the plight of over 150,000 Syrian detainees in Assad regime prisons, emphasizing the need for comprehensive efforts to secure their liberation.
