Kuwait City: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Tuesday expressed its support for the recent agreement to merge all civil and military institutions in northeastern Syria into Syrian state institutions: A statement by the OIC Secretariat hailed the deal as "a significant step toward maintaining Syria's unity and sovereignty and advancing the development of state institutions that align with the aspirations of the Syrian people." The OIC prioritizes this commitment to Syria's future, the statement noted. Syrian interim President Ahmad Al-Shara has reportedly signed the agreement to integrate the Syrian Democratic Forces into the regular army.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the OIC's endorsement is seen as a crucial move towards stabilizing the region. By merging the institutions, the agreement aims to streamline governance and military operations within the country. This development is anticipated to pave the way for a more unified Syrian state structure, fostering an environment conducive to peace and reconstruction efforts. The integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces into the national army is expected to enhance military cohesion and strengthen national defense capabilities.
The OIC's support underscores the international community's vested interest in Syria's stabilization and reconstruction. As the agreement unfolds, it remains to be seen how the integration will impact the political and social landscape in the region. The international community, including the OIC, continues to monitor the situation closely, hoping for positive outcomes that align with the aspirations of the Syrian populace.
