Syrian President declares new phase of revival at UN General Assembly

Syrian President Ahmad Al‑Sharaa addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, declaring that Syria “is rising” on many levels and attributing the progress to the resilience of its people. Speaking in New York during the opening session of the 78th General Assembly, the president highlighted advances in reconstruction, economic stabilization and social services that have taken place since the end of major hostilities in 2017.
