DAMASCUS, (ST)_ President Bashar Al-Assad received on Sunday the Russian President’s Special Envoy  to Syria Alexander Lavrentiev, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin, and the accompanying delegation. 
 
The talks between the President and the visiting Russian delegation dealt with the cooperation between Syria and Russia in the field of fighting terrorism and  the economic field, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA). 
 
The agency quoted Lavrentiev and Vershinin as saying that the current visit of the Russian delegation comes upon directives of President Vladimir Putin to enhance and expand the work with Syria in all fields and at all levels. 
 
The two officials asserted that Russia is ready to actively contribute to the process of reconstruction and rehabilitating the infrastructures that have been damaged by terrorism as well as setting up investment companies with Syria in the fields of power and agriculture for the common interest of the two friendly peoples and for activating Syrian economy.  
 
Moreover, the talks tackled the recent developments in Syria and the region.
 
President Al-Assad said that the recent developments, mainly the US’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, reflect the retreat of the role of the United States and its allies, which requires enhancing security and peace by the region’s countries and drawing the future of the region without foreign intervention. 
 
The meetings of the Syrian Committee for discussing the constitution which will kick off tomorrow were also on the table. 
 
The two sides underscored the importance of the continuity of the political process to reach agreements that meet the principles of the Syrian people and preserve Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
