President Al-Assad holds an open dialogue with Syrian ambassadors, heads of diplomatic missions abroad

President Bashar Al-Assad on Thursday held an open dialogue with the Syrian ambassadors, heads of diplomatic missions abroad, and the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates at the conclusion of diplomats’ periodic meeting.

The dialogue focused on the current political issues and ways to confront regional and international challenges.

President Al-Assad stressed the firm principles of the Syrian foreign policy regarding the relation with Syria’s Arab and regional environment, as well as its international relation and the way it deals with international challenges in accordance with a strategic and realistic vision, reiterating that bilateral relations are the core for strengthening relations with Arab countries.

The President clarified Syria’s firm position on the Arab-Israeli conflict, pointing out that the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation should be viewed in the context of the Palestinian cause, not as an emergency field event, in the face of the attempts of the United States and its Western allies to convince the world that the Al-Aqsa Flood operation is the cause of the current tension in the region.

President Al-Assad affirmed that dealing with the challenges facing Syria today has to do with its geographical and historical position, and with the fact that it is one of the war arenas and the focus of the greedy aspirations of colonizers throughout history.

The President explained that the chaos created by the United States has increased instability in the world, and the international conflict today is an economic-technological one, especially since the West has begun to lose its technological control over the East, which would contribute to accelerating the formation of a new multi-polar world.

He made it clear that future is for the East, because it has been able to preserve its identity and principles. He pointed out that the successive developments confirm the escalation and continuation of the conflict, which will create more crises for all countries of the world and their peoples.

Moreover, the dialogue dealt with the institutional aspect of the diplomatic work.

President Al-Assad stressed that this process is inseparable from the institutional development of all other government sectors, reiterating the importance of developing the rules of work, communication and coordination mechanisms between the ministry and its missions abroad, by establishing a permanent dialogue at all levels to ensure the establishment of precise frameworks and standards for implementing all aspects of diplomatic work.
