Al-Sharaa explained that building the state takes time, considering that stability and natural growth are achieved gradually and cumulatively, while rapid leaps often lead to problems or unrealistic assessments. He pointed out that the state intends, during the next five years, to develop a new set of laws and regulations, with the aim of strengthening the pillars of a strong state.
He affirmed, “We are not seeking to manufacture personal glories for anyone. We have gone through stages in which we were at the heart of danger, and power was not what concerned us. Rather, the priority was always to build what serves Syria, its reality, and its future.”
Al-Sharaa stressed that national unity is a fundamental pillar that cannot be compromised, pointing out that Syria has recently witnessed interaction and support from countries and peoples who love it, where the feelings of the people coincide for the first time with the positions of governments towards the Syrian issue.
In his speech about the post-conflict period, Al-Sharaa explained that countries usually go through a delicate stage known as the “post-conflict and disruption vortex,” which is a period that may extend for many years to overcome its effects, and requires the availability of supportive factors and conditions, while continuous fears remain of a possible return to conflict. He affirmed that Syria has managed to overcome this vortex.
He added that the country today stands before a historical stage that began since the launch of the battle on this day last year, which is a turning point that does not only concern Syria, but its effects extend to include the entire region, pointing out that the eyes of the world are directed towards Syria, waiting for a new beginning that restores balance and stability.
Al-Sharaa explained that the Syrian lands are interconnected and integrated, and it is difficult to separate any region from the other, stressing that the resources of the coast are directly linked to the eastern region, and vice versa, and that Syria without a sea outlet loses an essential part of its strategic and economic power.
He also pointed out that the Syrian coast possesses elements that reflect the cohesion of Syrian society and express the strength of national unity, considering that the social and sectarian diversity in it constitutes an enriching element for the Syrian state and not a cause for division or discord.
