Your Excellency,
Please allow me to extend the formal congratulations of the Empire of France on your liberation of the Syrian state and people from decades of oppressive rule. The Assad regime has long been an enemy to the world, France, and most importantly the Syrian people themselves.
As I said in our original statement we recognize the Islamic Liberation Army of the Levant's position as the most prominent movement representing the interests of the largest part of the Syrian population. As a consequence we have decided to recognize your administration. We repeat our call for the transition process to include all ethnic minorities within Syria and as many societal groups as possible. This is both the best guarantee of a stable Syrian administration and the best way to guarantee long-term international support, despite the more extremist origins of the movement.
In line with our commitment we have lifted all embargoes except for the weapons embargo from the Syrian administration, once a permanent government is established we will remove that embargo along with the negative travel advisory as well.
To aid the transition process, and to provide long-term support to the Syrian people I would like to open formal talks with yourself or a representative of your movement and the Minister delegate for the Middle East Nabila Michaud. At this meeting we would like to discuss both how France could be of service to the Syrian state and what relation if any the Syrian state would be interested in maintaining with France.
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Sophie Dubois,
Ministre de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères,
