Wael al-Halqi

66th Prime Minister of Syrian Arab Republic

Wael al-Halqi belongs to the political record as a figure whose decisions outlasted the moment that produced them.

The record lists Wael al-Halqi as 66th Prime Minister of Syrian Arab Republic.

Wael al-Halqi was born at Jasim in 1964. His recorded nationality is Syria. He was educated at Damascus University.

Modern political life is continuous and public: careers are made and unmade at a speed that leaves little room between decision and verdict.

The offices held were Prime Minister of Syria (2012–2016) and Minister of Health of the Syrian Arab Republic (2011–2012).

His political affiliation is recorded as Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Syria Region.

Political reputations are settled slowly, and rarely by the people who made them.

That the career was made in Syria is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.

Wael al-Halqi's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
