At the UN Security Council meeting devoted to the situation in Syria, Kate Foster, Deputy Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the UN, delivered remarks. In her statement, she noted that respect for Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity remains a key condition for ensuring long-term stability in the country. According to her, adherence to these principles creates the foundation for further political progress and recovery of the Syrian economy, which has suffered during years of conflict. The British representative reaffirmed London's position aimed at supporting a peaceful settlement of the Syrian crisis through UN diplomatic mechanisms. The statement came against the backdrop of ongoing discussion by the international community of ways to resolve the protracted conflict in Syria, including issues of humanitarian aid, political transition, and restoration of state institutions. The UN Security Council regularly holds meetings on the Syrian file, during which member states exchange assessments of the current situation and propose steps to stabilize the situation in the region.
