Moreover, the minister hailed social ties linking the two friendly peoples, referring to the necessity of enhancing and investing those relations in strengthening the relations in all domains, particularly the political, economic and cultural ones in the light of the suffering caused by the unilateral coercive economic measures imposed on the Syrian people by the US and its western tools.

He expressed his country’s appreciation for Syria’s support to it with regard to the British continued occupation of the Argentine Malvinas Islands, voicing his country’s stand by Syria in the face of the terrorist war waged against it and the illegitimate economic measures being imposed on Syria out of the framework of the international legitimate institutions.
