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.

Palestine welcomes France's plan to recognize Palestinian state
GAZA — The Palestinian Foreign Ministry and Hamas welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron's pledge on Thursday to formally recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in September, hailing the move as a diplomatic milestone and a step toward justice. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry also praised Macron's pledge, calling it 'historic' and a reaffirmation of France's commitment to international law and a peaceful resolution of the conflict based on a two-state solution. 'This is a victory for Palestinian diplomacy and Arab efforts, particularly those led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to secure broader international recognition of the State of Palestine,' the ministry said. The ministry called on other countries to follow suit and participate actively in the UN conference in New York, while also taking practical steps to preserve and implement the two-state solution. In a statement, Hamas described Macron's announcement as 'a positive step in the right direction' that supports the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and statehood on all occupied territories, with Jerusalem as their capital. The group said the French position signals 'a political development that reflects growing international conviction in the justice of the Palestinian cause,' and criticized Israel's efforts to distort facts and 'suppress the will of free nations.' It added that such moves increase both 'political and moral pressure' on the Israeli government. Macron confirmed his intention in a post on X, stating: 'In line with our historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine.' If carried out, France would become the first G7 member to officially recognize Palestine. Currently, 149 out of 193 UN member states recognize the State of Palestine. — Agencies

SDF Arms Dispute Derails Planned Syria Talks in Paris
A planned meeting in Paris between Syria's government and the Kurdish-led administration in northeast Syria has been postponed without explanation, the Kurdish delegation said on Thursday, as tensions persist over the future of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The talks, originally scheduled for Friday with participation from the US envoy to Syria, French Foreign Minister, and representatives from Britain and Germany, were seen as part of a Western-backed effort to revive negotiations between Damascus and the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). But Syrian state television quoted an unnamed government source saying Damascus 'has not and will not accept any discourse based on threats or preconditions that contradict the principle of state unity.' The source warned against 'attempts to preserve armed formations or seek separation from state institutions,' saying such moves would only deepen division and tension. 'There is no room for any call for an 'independent identity,'' the official added, calling it 'a rejected separatist invitation' and reiterating that the only path to a sustainable political solution lies in returning to the 'fold of the state' and holding serious national dialogue under Syrian sovereignty and without foreign agendas. The source also dismissed 'preconditions' for any intra-Syrian dialogue and said any insistence on maintaining armed groups outside state control was incompatible with building a unified national army. Karim Qamar, the AANES representative in France, confirmed the postponement in comments to the Kurdish Hawar News Agency, saying the delegation had not yet arrived in Paris and there was no confirmed agenda for meetings with French or European officials. The US and France, along with other Western capitals, had been working to bring the two sides together after a July 19 meeting in Amman involving US envoy Ethan Goldrich, Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad, and SDF commander Mazloum Abdi reportedly yielded 'significant progress,' according to Kurdish sources cited by Asharq Al-Awsat. The proposed Paris meeting was expected to focus on integrating SDF forces into the Syrian army and incorporating the AANES's local governance structures into national institutions — a core sticking point in long-standing negotiations. Speaking on Wednesday to Al-Youm TV, which is affiliated with the AANES, SDF spokesperson Farhad Shami said the group considered its weapons 'a red line' and viewed them as 'Syrian arms that cannot be handed over.' Shami said the key dispute with Damascus revolved around whether SDF fighters would join the army as individuals or as a unified bloc. 'We are ready to integrate as a single unit, not as individuals. Our negotiations are not a surrender but a dialogue between equals,' he said. But the Syrian government source pushed back in an interview with state-run Ikhbariya TV, stating: 'No military entity outside the official Syrian army can be considered part of the state's structure,' and reiterated that any effort to maintain armed factions independent of state control would hinder a comprehensive national solution. Kurdish sources familiar with the negotiations told Asharq Al-Awsat that Abdi's delegation had agreed with Damascus on 'broad outlines,' including retaining the SDF as a distinct formation within a single army corps, with subordinate units based in Raqqa, Deir al-Zor, and Hasakah — areas under the group's current control. The talks in Paris, now on hold, were to be a test of whether months of quiet backchannel diplomacy could overcome entrenched mistrust — particularly over the SDF's military status and the future of Kurdish self-rule in a post-war Syria.

Britain and Australia to sign 50-year nuclear submarine treaty
MELBOURNE: Britain and Australia announced they will sign a cooperation treaty to build Australian nuclear-powered submarines and welcomed a review by President Donald Trump's administration of the United States' role in the trilateral defense deal. Britain's Defense Secretary John Healey and Foreign Secretary David Lammy met Friday with their Australian counterparts Richard Marles and Penny Wong in Sydney for an annual bilateral meeting. Marles said he and Healey will sign a 50-year treaty Saturday that will underpin bilateral cooperation on building an Australian fleet of submarines powered by US nuclear technology. 'It is as significant a treaty as has been signed between our two countries since federation,' Marles said, referring to the unification of several British colonies to form the Australian government in 1901. The three-way alliance was announced in 2021 to contend with growing Chinese military might in the Asia-Pacific region. It would deliver Australia at least eight submarines including three to five second-hand US Virginia-class submarines. Britain and Australia would cooperate to build their own SSN-AUKUS submarines. US reviewing AUKUS trilateral submarine deal US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reviewing the pact, known by the acronym AUKUS, that was entered into by US President Joe Biden's administration. There are concerns that the US won't provide Australia with its first Virginia-class submarine by the early 2030s as planned because US submarine-building was behind schedule. Marles and Healey declined to speculate on whether Britain and Australia would continue with jointly building submarines if the US pulled out when questioned at a press conference. 'Australia and the UK welcome the review because we see this as a chance for a new administration to renew their commitment to AUKUS. And that's what we expect,' Healey said. 'Any sort of hypotheticals that you suggest simply aren't part of the picture,' Healey added, referring to the prospect of Britain and Australia proceeding without the US The Australian government confirmed this week it had paid the US a second $500 million installment on the AUKUS deal. The first $500 million was paid in February. The submarines are expected cost Australia up to $245 billion. The meeting comes as 3,000 British military personnel take part in the largest military exercise ever conducted in Australia. British aircraft carrier joins Australian war games More than 35,000 military personnel from 19 nations are taking part in Exercise Talisman Sabre, which began in 2005 as a biennial joint exercise between the US and Australia. Marles and Healey will inspect the British aircraft HMS Prince of Wales at the northern port of Darwin on Sunday. The carrier is in Australia to take part in the war games. Lammy said the carrier's arrival in Darwin was meant to send a clear signal to the world. 'With our carrier strike group docking in Darwin, I think we're sending a clear signal, a signal of the UK's commitment to this region of the world. Our determination to keep the Indo-Pacific free and open, and that we stand together,' he said.
