The United States and the United Nations have expressed their support for the agreement between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), emphasizing the importance of Syria's territorial unity.
The United States has backed the agreement reached between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), following a welcoming statement from the United Nations Security Council that stressed the importance of maintaining Syria's territorial integrity. Tammy Bruce, Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the UN, highlighted the U.S. commitment to a united and sovereign Syria that coexists peacefully with its neighbors. The agreement, reached on January 29, is deemed significant by U.S. representatives as it marks a step towards national reconciliation and unity in Syria.
In her remarks, Bruce described the comprehensive agreement as a milestone in Syria's journey towards stability and reconciliation among its various factions. She reiterated that the U.S. is dedicated to supporting the effective implementation of the agreement and collaborating closely with various stakeholders to ensure a smooth integration process, which is already underway. The U.S. administration sees this as a crucial moment in enhancing the governance and stability of the region.
Moreover, the announcement included welcoming the presidential decree number 13, which underscores the inclusion of Kurds in Syria's societal fabric and opens up avenues for their full participation in shaping a secure and prosperous future. By emphasizing these initiatives, the U.S. aims to strengthen its support for inclusive governance and cooperative security efforts in Syria, which remain critical in the battle against terrorism, particularly against groups like ISIS.
