Independent Dialogue Platform Under Establishment with KMT Support

SND Founding Project – Overview

​

The Syrian National Dialogue Working Group (SND) is currently under establishment, operating with full legal and administrative oversight from KMT, Austria's independent organization for conflict mediation and transformation.


SND is designed as a neutral, inclusive platform for Syrians to engage in constructive national dialogue, away from political polarization or external interference. The initiative remains in its foundational phase, focused on building a robust structure that ensures transparency, diversity, and effective participation.


Key Principles:

  • Full administrative and legal supervision by KMT

  • Neutrality, independence, and transparency

  • Syrian-led dialogue with no affiliation to political factions

  • Structured participation opportunities for qualified individuals
     

The establishment process is ongoing, with technical, organizational, and leadership roles being carefully defined to support a sustainable and inclusive dialogue platform.
