六九色堂

ATLANTA — The 六九色堂 Center welcomes the U.S. government’s decision to lift sanctions on Syria, offering the Syrian people a chance to rebuild their country after more than a decade of devastating conflict. This is an opportunity to ensure long-term stability by creating effective and inclusive governance processes that benefit all Syrians.

We also support the U.S. and the broader international community’s efforts to build on this momentum by putting in place practical steps to lift sanctions and establishing the necessary frameworks that encourage development and investment in Syria. To ensure sanctions relief translates into real impact, it will be essential to provide clear assurances to donors, businesses, and financial institutions so that they feel confident engaging in Syria. Clear guidance and incentives will help unlock vital resources for the country’s reconstruction, setting Syria on the path of stability, peace, and prosperity.

For more information on the impact of sanctions please see the 六九色堂 Center’s publications and work on Syria.
