UK Lifts Sanctions on Syria's Interior, Defense Ministries
Syria's General Intelligence Directorate, Air Force Intelligence Agency and National Security Bureau were also emitted from the list of entities subject to financial sanctions by the U.K, according to Reuters.
Such sanctions were primarily due to the repression of civilian population or 'supporting or benefiting from the Syrian regime.'
In this regard, Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa stated that lifting sanctions would prevent another civil war in Syria.
'Any chaos in Syria will damage not just neighboring countries but the whole world,' Al-Sharaa said.
Currently, the new Syrian government seeks to restore relations with Western and Arab countries and build new diplomatic relations to boost its stability and security. New Diplomatic Relations
In a remarkable milestone in the Syrian foreign policy, Syria and South Korea unfolded a new chapter of diplomatic relations on Thursday, according to Arab News.
A high-level delegation from South Korea has visited Syria and held several meetings with Senior officials in Syria.
The Korean delegation met with Syria's President Al-Sharaa at the People's Palace in the Syrian capital.
During the visit, Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs Asaad Al-Shaibani signed an agreement with his South Korean counterpart, Cho Tae-yul, in Damascus to establish diplomatic ties between both countries.
According to the SANA Agency, the new agreement would unleash new horizons of cooperation between Syria and Korea, open embassies and exchange diplomatic missions between both countries.
Importantly, this cooperation seeks to restore Syria's international standing that has collapsed because of the policies of the former Assad regime.
'This development opens a new chapter of cooperation with Syria, whose bilateral relations with South Korea had been severed due to its close ties with North Korea,' South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

UK backs future Palestinian statehood but says ceasefire the top priority
Britain supports eventual recognition of a Palestinian state, but the immediate priority should be alleviating suffering in Gaza and securing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, a British cabinet minister said on Friday. Successive British governments have said they would formally recognize a Palestinian state at the right time, without ever setting a timetable or specifying the conditions for it to happen. 'We want Palestinian statehood, we desire it, and we want to make sure the circumstances can exist where that kind of long-term political solution can have the space to evolve,' British science and technology minister Peter Kyle told Sky News. 'But right now, today, we've got to focus on what will ease the suffering, and it is extreme, unwarranted suffering in Gaza that has to be the priority for us today.' His comments came after French President Emmanuel Macron said France intends to recognize a Palestinian state in September at the UN General Assembly — a plan that drew strong condemnation from Israel and the United States. In a statement on Thursday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said statehood was the 'inalienable right of the Palestinian people,' reiterating his call for a ceasefire as a necessary step toward achieving a two-state solution. Speaking during a visit to Australia, Foreign Minister David Lammy echoed Starmer's ceasefire call and described the situation in Gaza as 'indefensible.' Gaza health authorities say more than 100 people have died from starvation, most of them in recent weeks. Human rights groups have said mass starvation is spreading even as tonnes of food and other supplies sit untouched just outside the enclave.

Saudi Role Pivotal as Syria Hosts Investment Forum in Damascus
In a symbolic and strategic move, Syria and Saudi Arabia took a major step toward deepening economic ties this week with the launch of the Syrian-Saudi Investment Forum 2025, held at the People's Palace in Damascus. The event brought together top officials from both countries, including Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and Saudi Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih, along with over 120 Saudi investors and business leaders. The forum marks the most significant Saudi economic delegation to visit Syria in over a decade, and comes amid a broader push by Damascus to attract regional and international investment to rebuild the war-torn country. Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat, Osama Qadi, Senior Advisor to Syria's Ministry of Economy and Industry, described the forum as a turning point. 'Saudi Arabia is helping to write a new chapter in Syria's economic history,' he said. 'The Kingdom is not only a political and security partner, it will be remembered as the driving force behind what could become Syria's economic miracle.' Qadi said Saudi Arabia's presence signaled deep trust in Syria's post-conflict potential. 'This initial delegation of over 120 Saudi business leaders is just the beginning,' he noted. 'Minister Al-Falih has committed to encouraging investment not only from the Kingdom but from countries across the globe.' According to Qadi, Saudi investments send a powerful signal to the international business community that Syria is stable and open for investment. 'The presence of Saudi capital builds trust,' he said. 'It shows that Syria is safe, serious about reform, and prepared to welcome global partnerships.' He emphasized that the large-scale destruction resulting from years of conflict has created opportunities in reconstruction, particularly for real estate developers, contractors, and urban planners. In this context, he said: 'The ruins can be rebuilt into a modern Syria... Before 2011, Syria already had widespread informal housing. Now, we have the opportunity to design cities with green spaces, modern infrastructure, and sustainable architecture - all while preserving local heritage.' Qadi added that the Syrian government sees this as a chance to rebuild in line with global standards. 'Together with our partners, we can build a Syria of 2025, with smart cities, environmentally friendly construction, and livable communities for the next generation,' he underlined. The timing of the forum, he noted, sends a strong political message to skeptics. 'Even as some areas of the country, like Sweida, remain unstable and US lawmakers debate the future of the Caesar Act sanctions, this forum shows that serious investors believe in Syria's future,' he remarked. Qadi expressed hope that Saudi engagement would trigger a ripple effect, saying: 'Together with the Kingdom, we can attract the largest number of investors, companies, and projects. This will create jobs and help Syria become one of the region's most attractive investment destinations.' At a press conference Wednesday night, Syrian Minister of Information Hamza Al-Mustafa officially launched the forum under the auspices of the Supreme Council for Economic Development and in partnership with the Syrian Investment Agency. Al-Mustafa praised Saudi Arabia's role as 'a key player in the Arab regional order and a very important global actor.' He also highlighted the strong historical and cultural ties between the two countries. 'Saudi Arabia holds a special place in the hearts of all Syrians. That's why President Al-Sharaa's first official visit abroad was to Riyadh. Syria received a warm welcome and a clear signal of Saudi commitment to our recovery,' the minister stated. Al-Mustafa further said the forum reflects Syria's readiness to turn the page. 'After decades of authoritarian rule and economic stagnation, Damascus is now presenting itself as a serious opportunity for investors. The soil is fertile, the environment is right, and we welcome all those who want to be part of Syria's renewal,' he affirmed.

Lebanese PM Makes Brief Visit to Paris, Secures French Support
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam concluded a short but significant visit to Paris this week, where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron for a working lunch focused on Lebanon's internal situation and regional developments. Contrary to earlier reports suggesting that Macron had summoned Salam to the Elysee, diplomatic sources clarified that the visit had been scheduled last month, prior to a cancelled French-hosted summit initially planned for June 17–18. This was the PM's first visit to France since his appointment to his post earlier this year. The discussions touched on Lebanon's political and economic challenges, as well as broader issues including Syria, the war in Gaza, and tensions with Iran. Speaking to a small group of journalists at the Lebanese Embassy in Paris, Salam emphasized that Lebanon remains insulated from regional instability, referencing recent unrest in Syria's Sweida province. He credited local mediation efforts by political and religious figures, notably Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, with helping maintain internal calm. On the future of the UN peacekeeping mission (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon, Salam dismissed fears of its withdrawal amid reports of US and Israeli pressure. While acknowledging concerns over potential US funding cuts to the peacekeeping operations, he said these are unlikely to threaten UNIFIL's presence. Salam affirmed Lebanon's continued need for the force until the Lebanese Army is sufficiently supported, and highlighted France's historical leadership role in shaping UNIFIL's mandate. He also addressed criticism of the armistice monitoring committee - of which France is a member - noting that while its performance may fall short of Lebanese expectations, it remains active as part of a broader Franco-American coordination. Turning to the issue of Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Salam offered an optimistic outlook. He stated that his government had achieved tangible progress in cooperation with the UNHCR and Syrian authorities, aiming for the safe and dignified return of displaced Syrians. According to Salam, over 120,000 refugees have returned since the beginning of the year, and many have been removed from both Lebanese and UNHCR records. He downplayed recent reports of a new influx from Syria, estimating the numbers at no more than 60,000. Salam also revealed that Macron expressed support for Lebanon's reform efforts, including financial reforms. However, he noted that France has not yet set a date for a proposed economic aid conference, pending concrete reform steps. Upon returning to Beirut, Salam thanked France for its continued support for Lebanon's security, sovereignty, and prosperity, and reaffirmed Macron's commitment to strengthening bilateral ties across security, economic, and cultural sectors.
