DUBAI: Syria announced on Tuesday that it has reached an agreement on a roadmap for the southern governorate of Sweida with the support of Jordan and the United States, in what officials described as a historic step toward stability and reconciliation.
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan Al-Shibani received Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, along with US Special Envoy to Syria Thomas Barrack, in Damascus for high-level talks. The discussions focused on the signing of an agreement that outlines measures for security, accountability, and national reconciliation in Sweida, which has recently witnessed unrest.
Shibani stressed that the roadmap “serves the interest of all Syrians” and includes provisions to hold those responsible for violence accountable while launching a wider reconciliation process.
“We want to stabilize southern Syria,” Shibani said.
