A: Hey! Did you hear anything interesting today?
B: Not really! What’s up?

A: Japan’s helping Syria again! It's been a long time.
B: Wow, seriously? What’s happening?

A: Yeah! A government guy, Onishi, went there.
B: Really? To Damascus?

A: Yep! He said Japan will start helping economically.
B: After like, fifteen years? That's a big deal.

A: Exactly! They’re giving around 53 million dollars.
B: For what, exactly?

A: Mostly for refugees to go home and get rid of old chemical weapons.
B: That makes sense. Helping people rebuild is important.

A: They also talked about training people and clearing landmines.
B: Landmines? That's terrible.

A: And they want Japanese companies to invest there, too.
B: So, they’re trying to help Syria get back on its feet.

A: They’re trying to help after all the fighting. Remember the civil war started in 2011?
B: Oh yeah, a really difficult time. It's good to hear Japan is helping now, especially with the old government gone.
