UK Provides Additional Financial Support Exceeding $9.5 Million to Syria
ARK News.. The British Chargé d’Affaires to the United Nations stated that the visit of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to London in late March was important for deepening relations between the two countries and advancing progress on several key issues related to Syria’s stability, including ensuring the lasting defeat of the Islamic State and supporting economic recovery.
In a session of the United Nations Security Council on Syria, the UK Chargé d’Affaires, James Kariuki, welcomed the new task force “Freedom Breath,” which will work to destroy chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria.
Kariuki noted that the United Kingdom is an active member of the task force and will provide additional financial support exceeding $9.5 million, allocated to fund chemical weapons destruction operations directly overseen by the Syrian government. He added that the funding announcement coincided with President al-Sharaa’s visit.
