“Syria Forward: Building Foundations to Address the Political, Security, Economic and Social Challenges” – The Med-Or Forum

The event was promoted by the Med-Or Italian Foundation in collaboration with the Global Institute for Strategic Research.

The forum “Syria Forward: Building Foundations to Address the Political, Security, Economic and Social Challenges” was held on 29 May 2025, promoted by the Med-Or Italian Foundation in collaboration with the Global Institute for Strategic Research.

The event brought together international experts, analysts, and institutional representatives to examine the complex challenges facing the new Syrian administration at a critical juncture for the country’s future. After years of civil war and authoritarian rule, Syria is a nation in ruins: devastated infrastructure, a collapsing economy, and a deeply fractured social fabric.

The forum provided a platform for dialogue aimed at proposing concrete solutions in the political, economic, social, and security domains, with the goal of supporting the fragile reconstruction process and strengthening national cohesion following the fall of Assad in December 2024.

Throughout the day, participants stressed the urgent need for a strategic and inclusive vision—one capable of responding to the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people and guiding the country toward a future of stability, dignity, and freedom.
