BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:00 P.M.) – Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Miqdad said on Monday that Damascus rejects all reconstruction projects being drawn up without their approval.
“There are those who tried to draw up plans for Syria’s reconstruction, both in Beirut, the Gulf, and even Brussels,” Miqdad said, as quoted by Al-Watan.
“But this doesn’t concern us because we were not partners in his situation,” he said, noting that there were programs about reconstruction, aid, and loans, but the Syrian state rejected it because it was discussed without their presence.
Syria’s reconstruction projects have already begun in several parts of the country; however, these contracts were given to Iranian, Russian, and Chinese firms.
