The prime minister of Syria (Arabic: رئيس وزراء سوريا, romanized: raʾīs wuzarāʾ Sūriyā) is the head of Council of Ministers appointed by the President of the Syrian Arab Republic.[2]
Nomination
The prime minister is appointed by the president of Syria, along with other ministers and members of the government that the new prime minister recommends.[3]
