Syrian Central Bank Governor Welcomes Canada's Sanctions Relief

The Governor of Syria's Central Bank, Abdulkader Husrieh, has welcomed Canada's recent decision to lift its sanctions on Syria. He described the move as the start of a new chapter for bilateral relations. Husrieh made the statement on the bank's official Telegram channel on Saturday. He said the decision opens a path for "opportunities and constructive cooperation" between the two countries. Canada formally lifted its broad economic sanctions against Syria last month. The policy shift aims to support earthquake recovery and encourage dialogue, according to Canadian officials. The Syrian Central Bank governor's public response highlights the economic importance of the sanctions relief for Damascus. Syria remains under heavy sanctions from other nations, including the United States and the European Union.
