Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani says lifting economic sanctions is crucial for restoring stability in the country. The new authorities in Syria have been urging Western powers to remove the restrictions imposed during Bashar al-Assad's rule. However, the international community remains hesitant, waiting to see how Syria's new rulers exercise their power. Al-Shaibani argues that the sanctions, originally imposed for the benefit of Syrians, are now working against the Syrian people.
