Davos: Foreign Minister of the new Syrian administration, Asaad Al Shaibani, announced that a committee of experts from various Syrian factions will begin drafting a new constitution following a national dialogue.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Al Shaibani also revealed plans to open Syria's economy to foreign investment, with a focus on energy and electricity partnerships with regional countries.

He highlighted that lifting sanctions imposed during the regime of the "ousted" president Bashar Al Assad is crucial for Syria's stability, emphasizing that these sanctions, originally aimed at benefiting the Syrian people, are now harmful to them.
