The German Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Economic Cooperation and Development issued a joint statement today, Monday, in which they considered that the Syrian People's Council elections represent the beginning of a broader political path, affirming Berlin's commitment to supporting a comprehensive political process that includes all components of Syrian society.
The statement noted that the Syrian people, after years of war and authoritarian rule, are looking forward to actively participating in shaping the political future of their country, considering that the current phase marks the start of an institutional change process based on popular engagement.
The two ministries emphasized the importance of ensuring citizen participation throughout Syria, including in provinces where elections have not yet been held, such as Hasakah, Raqqa, and Sweida, calling for the electoral process to be completed comprehensively.
The German government also urged all Syrian parties to show political flexibility and accept compromises that serve the unity of Syrian territory, noting that reconstruction plans encompass multiple areas, most notably health, education, infrastructure, water, economic development, and enhancing good governance and the rule of law.
