Infrastructure and finance

"France will contribute to the development of Syria's infrastructure and financial sector," Sharaa told French BFM TV in remarks carried by the SANA news agency. He noted that "many other sectors" could benefit from French expertise as the country rebuilds.

Technological partnership

"Syria is currently in the reconstruction phase, and it has many resources," Sharaa said. "It needs countries that are advanced in technology, and France is one of the most advanced countries in this field."

Diplomatic milestone

Macron arrived in Damascus early Monday on the first visit by a Western leader to Syria since the ouster of the Bashar al-Assad regime in December 2024.
