2020年，叙利亚处于三方割据状态，国内政治形势进入“没有战争，没有和平”的僵持阶段；经济濒临崩溃，经济生活中的突出问题有粮食危机，持续的电力、燃料严重不足，叙利亚镑急剧贬值，外汇储备告罄，物价飞涨和公民购买力急剧下降，高失业率和高贫困率持续，国内外难民回归无期。2020年叙利亚外交环境有所改善，但是也面临诸多挑战。特别是新冠疫情大流行时，经历近十年内战的叙利亚公共卫生系统已十分脆弱，远未做好应对新冠疫情的准备。
In 2020，Syriahas was in a state of tripartite division，and the domestic political situation has entered a stalemate phase of “no war，no peace”；the economy was under the verge of collapse，and the outstanding problems in economic life were the food crisis，the severe shortage of persistent electricity and fuel，the sharp depreciation of the Syrian pound，and the depletion of foreign exchange reserves. Prices surged and citizens’ purchasing power plummeted，high unemployment and poverty rates persisted，and the return of refugees at home and abroad was indefinite. The diplomatic environment in Syria has improved in 2020，still，there were many challenges ahead. In particular，at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic，Syria’s public health system which was ravaged by a nearly decade of civil war，was fragile and far from ready to deal with this pandemic.
