The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine welcomes the formation of the new transitional government in Syria. We see this step as another important stage on the path to building a peaceful and democratic country within the framework of the nationwide process initiated by the National Dialogue Conference and adoption of the Constitutional Declaration.

We are convinced that the formation of strong state institutions based on inclusiveness will contribute to further implementation of the necessary reforms expected by the Syrian people as well as prevent external interference and destabilization of Syria in the future.

Ukraine supports Syria’s unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity, is ready to develop cooperation with the new government of the country and to further support the Syrian people on the path to stability and development.
