Syriens utrikesminister kallar syrier utomlands för en strategisk tillgång

Under ett besök i Berlin beskrev Syriens utrikesminister Asaad al-Shaibani den syriska diasporan som en ”strategisk nationell tillgång”. Damaskus signalerar ekonomisk öppning mot Tyskland men avvisar tvångsreturer. Syrien erbjuder samarbete i kampen mot terrorism och brottslighet.

Syriens utrikesminister Asaad al-Shaibani använde sin vistelse i Berlin för att klargöra sina ståndpunkter. ”Syrier i diasporan är en strategisk nationell tillgång, inte en belastning”, sade han. Damaskus presenterar sig som en stabilitetsfaktor och kräver ett slut på den internationella isoleringen. Vid ett tysk-syriskt ekonomiskt forum undertecknades avsiktsförklaringar om ett närmare samarbete. Samtidigt avvisar Syrien tvångsreturer. Återvändandet måste vara frivilligt och kopplat till återuppbyggnad och stabila levnadsvillkor. Syrien erbjuder också samarbete i kampen mot terrorism, narkotikahandel och organiserad brottslighet. Omkring 1,3 miljoner syrier bor i Tyskland, vilket har väckt debatt om kostnader och integration.
