Foreign Minister Assad Al-Shaybani at the Manama Dialogue Conference in 2026: Real security is embodied in countries that are able to protect their people and their neighbors that protect each other's sovereignty. A weapon derives its legitimacy from the legitimacy of the state alone. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Gulf states and Jordan in the face of any aggression. Syria's joining the international coalition against ISIS is a historic step. We turned a page on Caesar's law and parliamentary life returned to our country. We inherited an administrative structure destroyed by corruption and institutions adapted to the size of the previous regime to follow the latest news and developments in Syria.
