EU foreign ministers agree on a plan to remove sanctions on Syria during political changes.
Reading
The European Union (EU) might stop punishing Syria soon. They want to help Syria rebuild after a long war but will start punishing them again if bad things happen.
The EU started punishing Syria in 2011 when the leader, Bashar Assad, hurt people who disagreed with him. This punishment included not letting some Syrians travel to the EU and freezing their money.
The EU wants to lift the punishments if Syria's new leaders promise peace and don't work with Russia or Iran. They hope this will help Syria's economy and make life better for people there.
The EU ministers haven't decided exactly when to lift the punishments, but they have a plan. They want to remove punishments that are slowing down Syria's rebuilding, like those on energy and infrastructure.
However, some punishments will stay, like those stopping the sale of weapons to Syria. The EU is also watching a group called HTS, which is now powerful in Syria, to see how they behave before deciding on any changes to punishments against them.
