Norway eases sanctions on Syria, keeps restrictions on key Figures from defunct regime

Oslo, SANA-The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Thursday a relaxation of sanctions imposed on Syria, in a move aimed at supporting the European initiative to reassess economic measures enforced on Damascus, while emphasizing the continuation of sanctions targeting key figures in the defunct regime.

In a statement released Thursday, the ministry confirmed that the adjustment is part of coordination with the European Union, which is working on implementing a “roadmap” to gradually ease sanctions while maintaining restrictions related to human rights violations and weapons programs.

The announcement comes amid accelerating European diplomatic efforts to reconsider punitive policies toward Syria, in light of calls to enhance regional stability and take into account humanitarian conditions.
