Kallas says Syria has stayed out of regional flare-ups, stability must be kept

EU official says Syria largely avoided regional spillover

European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas told reporters upon arriving at a Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Brussels that Syria has so far managed to remain outside the region's escalating tensions. She warned, however, that the Syrian government still faces significant challenges at home—notably the conditions in displacement camps—and stressed the importance of preventing the country from being pulled into broader regional confrontations.

Context and Syrian priorities

Kallas framed her comments against a backdrop of heightened Middle East security concerns following the US-Israel-Iran conflict and related disruptions to maritime routes. She noted that Syria continues efforts to consolidate stability and reinforce state institutions to avoid being affected by the wider regional fallout, calling for measures to preserve the country's internal stability and protect displaced populations, as reported by SANA
