The State of Qatar welcomes the ratification by His Excellency the President of the Syrian Arab Republic of the Constitutional Declaration, expressing hope that this important, historic step will form a solid foundation for organizing the transitional period and building a state of institutions, justice, and freedoms to which the brotherly Syrian people aspire.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that the provisions of the Constitutional Declaration, particularly the principle of separation of powers, the formation of a committee to draft a permanent constitution, the achievement of transitional justice, the protection of the freedoms and rights of all Syrians, and the commitment to the unity of the land and people, represent a starting point for building the country on new foundations. In this context, the Ministry stresses the need for local, regional, and international solidarity to promote progress and stability in Syria.
The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar’s full support for Syria’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, and the aspirations of its brotherly people for freedom, development, and prosperity.
