United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Sunday for the immediate removal of all sanctions imposed on Syria during the era of former ruler Bashar Assad. The appeal was made in Damascus as Guterres concluded a two-day visit to the country.
While Western countries, including the United States, have previously announced the easing of sanctions on Syria, investors have remained cautious. Guterres acknowledged the initial easing of restrictions as a positive step toward economic recovery, but maintained that all remaining measures should be lifted immediately.
