The Brussels conference – titled “Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region” – aims to rally the international community’s political and financial support to address the growing needs of the Syrian population, the press release added.

The conference will also aim to support host communities in the wider region that have shown solidarity towards displaced people and refugees, such as Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq.

The conference will also offer a platform to renew international engagement for a political solution to the conflict, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2254.

The event will be preceded by a “Day of Dialogue” in the European parliament on 14 June to address some of the key challenges faced by the Syrian people.

The European Union and its member states are the largest donors supporting the Syrian people, with over 30 billion euros mobilised since 2011, the press release revealed.

In 2022, the European Union and its member states contributed to 75 percent of conference pledges to the Syrian people, it added.

This year's Brussels conference will be the main pledging event for Syria and the region in 2023.
