President von der Leyen reaffirms the European Union’s commitment to supporting Syria and the Syrian people, one year after the beginning of a new path toward hope, recovery, and renewal.

President von der Leyen proposes a new framework for cooperation built on three pillars: a renewed political partnership through high-level dialogue; strengthened economic cooperation, including access to European markets; and a substantial financial support package of around €620 million for humanitarian aid, early recovery, and institutional rebuilding.

The EU is committed to supporting Syria’s reviving economy and bringing communities back together.
