Germany's foreign minister emphasized the importance of maintaining sanctions against Syrian officials responsible for war crimes while advocating for a strategic approach to provide assistance to the Syrian population following the recent overthrow of President Bashar Assad. The minister highlighted the need for a swift transition of power to benefit the Syrian people.

Germany announced an additional 50 million euros in aid for food, emergency shelters, and medical care to support the millions of Syrians displaced by the long-standing civil war. European countries, including Germany, expressed the desire for a future Syrian government that is inclusive of all religious and ethnic communities, with a particular emphasis on the involvement of women in the political process.
