EU restores trade ties with Syria after 14-year suspension
EU foreign ministers reinstated a cooperation agreement with Syria on Monday to strengthen bilateral relations and support economic recovery. The move lifts restrictions on imports of Syrian oil and precious metals following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad in late 2024.

European Union foreign ministers agreed to restore full trade ties with Syria, reinstating a cooperation agreement suspended since 2011. The decision follows the 2024 ousting of Bashar al-Assad and the lifting of most Western sanctions last year. Re-engagement reopens European markets to Syrian energy and mineral exports for the first time in roughly 13 years.
