Syria, Politics, 8/13/2001

The Kuwaiti daily al-Seyasah issued on Sunday said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has asked for making a plenary study for more than 400 Syrian figures in preparation to appoint them in key positions of " administration " in the country.

An official source told al-Seyasah that the criterion on which President al-Aassad had concentrated are " certified qualification, specialization and cleanness."

This study, however, comes at a time when the Syrian public is expecting the formation of a new government and fundamental changes covering directors general of institutes and establishments.

The paper indicated that the change inspired by the Syrian President is considered the first in regard to volume and quality.

The source, on the other hand, expected that in his very close visit to Kuwait, the President will be accompanied by new faces, including members and leading figures of the forthcoming ministries.

The paper said that Chief of protocol at the Syrian presidency arrived on Saturday evening in Kuwait on board of a special plane with the aim to prepare for President al-Assad's expected to Kuwait within a week.
