Western countries refuse to help rebuild Syria for the moment

On the occasion of the eighth anniversary of the conflict in Syria, the United States, France, Germany and Britain jointly declared that these countries would not contribute to the reconstruction of Syria before the beginning of a "real political settlement".

"We will continue to seek accountability for the crimes committed during the Syrian conflict for justice to be done and for the Syrian people to be reconciled," the statement said.

The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Frederica Mugrini, said Thursday that the EU would be ready to provide funds for the reconstruction of Syria and discuss it with the Bank when the political process begins in Geneva.
