Strategic Gains: al-Sharaa’s meetings with Trump, Macron and Erdoğan strengthen Syria’s global standing - SANA 
Damascus, July 9 (SANA) President Ahmad al-Sharaa ‘s diplomacy revealed a series of historic breakthroughs that have permanently broken Syria’s past isolation. 
High-level summits with US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have reshaped the geopolitics of the Levant, anchoring the “New Syria” as an indispensable sovereign partner on the world stage. 
By aligning with Washington and Paris—two permanent, veto-wielding members of the UN Security Council and G7 economic titans—and Ankara, NATO ’s second-largest military power and a dominant emerging economy, Damascus has successfully built a balanced, non-aligned foreign policy network based on mutual respect and shared economic interests. 
Erasure from the US State Sponsor of Terrorism List 
In what stands as the most monumental shift in US-Syrian relations in decades, President Donald Trump officially handed a signed presidential decree to President al-Sharaa during their bilateral meeting on Wednesday, at the 36th NATO Summit in Ankara. 
President Donald Trump’s Letter to President Ahmad al-Sharaa: “Today, I have notified Congress of my decision to rescind the State Sponsor of Terrorism designation for Syria. 
By law, Congress will now conduct a 45-day review to make it final.” 
President Trump emphasized that American corporate entities are fully prepared to aggressively invest across Syria, pledging US technical support to help make the country more prosperous than ever before. 
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with key congressional leaders like Senator Jeanne Shaheen, highlighted that this step unlocks international banking access, simplifies global financial transfers, and clears remaining legislative sanctions. 
France: Restitution of illicit assets & full ambassador exchange 
President Emmanuel Macron’s historic visit to Damascus on Tuesday marked a crucial turning point, representing the first visit by a European head of state to Syria since liberation, and the first visit by a French president in 17 years. 
The Élysée-Damascus summit yielded immediate, tangible results: 
Restoration of ties: The two nations officially agreed to an immediate exchange of extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassadors, fully restoring severed diplomatic channels. 
Asset restitution: President Macron announced that France is prepared to immediately repatriate over €50 million in frozen, illicitly acquired funds confiscated from figures from the ousted regime, directing the capital into Syria’s national recovery fund. 
Strategic investments: The French delegation signed wide-ranging memoranda of understanding (MoUs) spanning healthcare development, infrastructure rebuilding, and major grid energy updates. 
Macron also explicitly condemned ongoing Israeli border incursions, demanding a complete withdrawal from occupied Syrian lands. 
Anchoring the Turkish alliance from the heart of NATO 
On Wednesday, President al-Sharaa met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the 36th NATO Summit headquarters. 
Conducting these meetings within the venue of one of the world’s premier defense alliances provided Syria with an unprecedented level of political validation. 
President Erdoğan renewed Turkey’s absolute, unwavering commitment to backing Syria’s unified state institutions, stabilizing northern border corridors, and expanding cross-border logistical and commercial integration to fuel the regional manufacturing boom. 
New era of sovereign multi-alignment 
For the first time in modern history, Syria has established an explicit international consensus regarding its absolute sovereignty and territorial integrity. 
The shared commitments voiced by Washington, Paris, and Ankara reflect a unified global desire to see a stable, institutionalized, and unified Syrian state spearhead stability across the Eastern Mediterranean. 
By steering clear of rigid regional axes and polarizing blocs, President al-Sharaa’s modern diplomatic apparatus has successfully transformed Syria from a theater of proxy competition into a secure, highly attractive hub for international capital, infrastructure engineering, and long-term global trade.
