A presenter said more than 1.6 million people returned to Syria last year and urged international support to help the country rebuild and avoid a broader regional crisis.
The presenter said the returns were part of reconstruction efforts and warned of the risks if Syria again became entangled in regional instability. "We're all conscious of the need to keep Syria out of that wider regional crisis," the presenter said, framing stability as a shared priority.
The speaker framed the moment as an opportunity rather than only a risk, saying Syria has "potential now for Syria to move from being ... an importer of problems from the region to an exporter of genuine solutions and stability." The presenter added: "The region is in urgent need for a success story. And Syria could be a success story if we are able to stand on the side of the Syrian people and provide the services that are that are needed."
