The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced the beginning of "a new chapter" in the country's history, signifying the launch of a national charter designed to foster unity among Syrians and overcome divisions.

The initiative, as per the ministry, seeks to establish a cohesive nation founded on principles of justice and equality, ensuring that all citizens are granted their rights and fulfill their responsibilities.

"This vision emphasizes a diverse and inclusive society where citizenship forms the foundation, moving away from unilateral perspectives," the ministry stressed.

In its statement, the Ministry reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to serving all Syrian citizens and addressing their needs. It underscored the responsibility entrusted to it as the representative of the Syrian people, stressing that "the homeland will always remain the highest priority."

Syrian opp. coalition works on power transfer to transitional gov.

Earlier today, the Syrian opposition coalition said it was continuing work to complete the transfer of power in Syria to a "transitional governing body with full executive powers." 

In a statement, it said, "The great Syrian revolution has moved from the stage of struggle to overthrow the Assad regime to the struggle to build a Syria together that befits the sacrifices of its people."

Additionally, the coalition called on Kurdish forces to disengage from any foreign organizations.

Shortly after, Reuters reported, citing Syrian opposition fighters, that attacks had begun on Kurdish forces in Manbij, northern Syria.

Moreover, Reuters quoted the Syrian opposition coalition as confirming its continued work "to complete the transfer of power to a transitional governing body with full executive powers."

The coalition stressed that "the revolution has moved from the stage of struggle to overthrow the Assad regime to the stage of struggle to build Syria together," according to Reuters.

This comes after armed groups entered Syria's capital, Damascus, and reports of President Bashar al-Assad's leaving the capital to an unknown location at an earlier time. 

Syrian PM al-Jalali said that he is ready to cooperate with any leadership chosen by the Syrian people, stressing that he will not leave his home until a "peaceful transition" is achieved, where he would have guaranteed the safety of Syrian public institutions and their continued work. 

He urged all parties to think "rationally," adding that he extends his hand in cooperation to everyone, including members of the opposition.
