Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa declared on Tuesday evening that the reconstruction of Syria has begun, urging citizens to unite in rebuilding a country devastated by 14 years of war.

Speaking at a public event in Aleppo, the first major city to fall to opposition factions during the war, al-Sharaa emphasized that Syria had entered a new chapter.

"The battle for reconstruction has just begun. Let us all join hands and seek God’s help to create a bright future for a distinguished country and a deserving people," he said.

In his address, the interim president stressed the need for national cohesion, calling on all Syrians to seize the moment and contribute to rebuilding efforts.

"Let us seize the opportunity and do our duty to him," he continued, adding, "Let our slogan be as we have raised it before: We will not rest until we rebuild Syria anew and show it off to the entire world."

Syria’s new phase

The war in Syria has left its economy in ruins and its infrastructure decimated. Millions have been displaced, while essential services such as healthcare, education, and housing remain critically damaged. Despite these challenges, the speech marked a renewed focus on Syria's rebuilding efforts and a possible shift in international engagement.

On May 13, US President Donald Trump announced from Saudi Arabia his intention to lift sanctions imposed on Syria. The following day, he met with interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa in the presence of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.

The announcement signaled a potential turning point in US sanctions on Syria, which have long hindered foreign investment and humanitarian aid. Whether the move will be followed by concrete policy changes remains to be seen, but it adds new dimensions to the reconstruction narrative.

The choice of Aleppo for the announcement carried both symbolic and practical significance. As one of the most heavily damaged cities during the war, Aleppo’s reconstruction will be critical in the nation's new phase.
