Minister of Local Administration and Environment Hussein Makhlouf and the Iraqi Minister of Migration and Displaced Ivan Faiek Jabru discussed during a meeting on Thursday ways of consolidating bilateral relations and facilitating the voluntary and safe return of the Iraqi refugees in Syria and the Syrian refugees in Iraq to their home countries.
“Syria is keen on securing all the requirements of the Iraqi citizens living in Syria and on maintaining their safety and security and it is ready to facilitate their voluntary return to Iraq,” Makhlouf said, pointing out that the Syrian government has taken all necessary measures to help the Syrian refugees in Iraq return to Syria without obstacles.
On her part, Jabru affirmed the need to deepen cooperation between the two ministries and to open new prospects for joint action to facilitate the voluntary return of refugees from both sides to their home countries.
