For thousands of years, Syria has been a cradle of civilizations, a starting point for the alphabet, a meeting place for religions, and a stage for thought, poetry, and art. Today, as we face major challenges, we believe that culture is not a luxury, but a national necessity, and an integral part of our project to repair the soul, build the human being, and restore the civilizational narrative.

At the Ministry of Culture, we work with an open mind and a heart that understands the pulse of the Syrian street. We seek to empower creativity, embrace youth, preserve heritage, and enhance dialogue among all components of society, both inside Syria and in the diaspora.

I invite you to be partners in shaping Syria's cultural future, each from their own position, for culture is not monopolized by institutions, but is the pulse of daily life, in the home, in the street, in the school, in kind words, refined behavior, and noble stances.
