The article emphasizes the UN's ongoing engagement with Syria as essential for building confidence and trust in a political process that is owned and led by Syrians. It notes Pakistan's full support for the government and people of Syria as they pursue a new era of peace, stability, and prosperity, in a statement by Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad at a UN Security Council briefing on the humanitarian and political situation in Syria. The speaker commends the responsible approach of the Syrian government in insulating the country from destabilizing regional developments at this critical stage of its transition and recovery. In my view, sustained international involvement is vital to ensure humanitarian access, preserve civilian protections, and keep the focus on a genuinely inclusive Syrian-led process. While the principle of Syrian ownership should be preserved, the international community must couple support with accountability, reform, and practical steps toward de-escalation and regional cooperation. Pakistan's stance underscores the value of regional partnerships in stabilizing Syria, but credible progress will require transparent governance and measurable improvements in human rights and living conditions for ordinary Syrians.
