First Meeting of the HTS/SSG-Led Transition Government

Speech of Muhammad al-Bashir, Prime Minister of the SSG and the Transitional Government

We were assigned by the General Command to run the Syrian government’s affairs during a transitional period. This assignment aims to receive government files and institutions, ensure the return of workers to them, and activate their role, in a way that contributes to providing services to our people in free Syria.

A caretaker government was formed from a number of ministers from the revolutionary government, which is the Syrian Salvation Government. This government is a temporary caretaker government that will continue until March 2025, until the constitutional issues are decided.

The tasks of the caretaker government are to maintain security, preserve the stability of institutions, and ensure that the state does not disintegrate. It also seeks to provide basic services to the people, until a new government is formed for Syria that achieves the aspirations of Syrian society.

Our people deserve to live a dignified life and to be provided with the best and highest quality services. We hope that the ministers in the government of the deposed regime will be of assistance to the honorable ministers during the transitional period, especially with regard to handing over files, to ensure the continuity of providing services to our people without interruption.

There are great challenges, but our previous experience in managing Idlib Governorate and the surrounding areas has given us extensive experience, which has contributed to refining the human resources and cadres that we possess, making us capable of bearing this great responsibility that has been entrusted to us.
