  "account": "Ukraine and Syria have formed a Business Council to bolster economic ties between the two nations, according to Ukrinform. The state news agency SANA reported that this decision was made by the Ministry of Economy and Industry on Monday. A chair, deputy chair, and additional members have been appointed to oversee the council's operations. The council will function under the regulations that govern Syria's joint business councils and will serve as the sole authorized entity representing Syria in its commercial dealings with Ukraine, as stated by SANA. The council will be managed by the Syrian Council for Coordinating Joint Business Councils, which will coordinate with relevant state bodies and ensure that the council's activities align with Syria's national economic objectives. It is worth noting that the U.S. government officially removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism in August, a designation that had been in place since 1979.",
