He reaffirmed Syria’s support for the Venezuelan people and the leadership of President Nicolas Maduro in the confrontation of foreign interference in Venezuela’s affairs.
Sousan highly appreciated Venezuela’s support for Syria in the face of the “heinous conspiracy and dirty war” waged against Syria, asserting the need to expand cooperation between the two countries in order to face challenges and the illegal unilateral coercive measures imposed by the West colonialist forces.
