Syrisk udenrigsminister kalder syrere i udlandet for et strategisk aktiv

Under et besøg i Berlin beskrev Syriens udenrigsminister, Asaad al-Shaibani, den syriske diaspora som et 'strategisk nationalt aktiv'. Damaskus signalerer økonomisk åbning over for Tyskland, men afviser tvungen hjemsendelse. Syrien tilbyder samarbejde om bekæmpelse af terrorisme og kriminalitet.

Syriens udenrigsminister, Asaad al-Shaibani, benyttede sit ophold i Berlin til at udstikke klare holdninger. 'Syrere i diasporaen er et strategisk nationalt aktiv, ikke en byrde,' sagde han. Damaskus fremstiller sig selv som en stabilitetsfaktor og opfordrer til en afslutning på den internationale isolation. Ved et tysk-syrisk økonomisk forum blev der underskrevet hensigtserklæringer, som varsler et tættere samarbejde. Samtidig afviser Syrien tvungen hjemsendelse. Tilbagevenden skal ske frivilligt og være knyttet til genopbygning og stabile levevilkår. Syrien tilbyder desuden samarbejde om bekæmpelse af terrorisme, narkohandel og organiseret kriminalitet. Omkring 1,3 millioner syrere bor i Tyskland, hvilket har affødt debatter om omkostninger og integration.
