Belarusian Defense Minister affirms his country’s continued support for Syria 

Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin affirmed that his country will continue to stand by Syria in the war against terrorism, and in providing various forms of humanitarian aid.

During his meeting with the Syrian ambassador to Belarus Muhammad al-Omrani Khrenin stressed that Belarus has a great desire to strengthen its bilateral relations with Syria in all fields, and to participate in the reconstruction process.

Khrenin and Al-Omrani’s meeting discussed the strong friendship between the two countries, ways to strengthen them in various fields, and the importance of continuing coordination between them in light of the rapid changes the world is currently witnessing, and in confronting similar challenges faced by both countries.

Khrenin pointed out that the catastrophe of the earthquake that Syria was exposed to showed the true face of Western countries that refrained from helping the Syrian people. He noted that these countries do not want to see Syria strong and prosperous, and therefore they continue to impose unilateral coercive measures on it, and they try to interfere in its internal affairs, but they won’t succeed in achieving their goals.

In turn, Al-Omrani expressed the Syrian government and people’s gratitude for the firm supportive stances of the Belarusian leadership towards Syria, for the humanitarian assistance provided by the Belarusian military medical team to the people  affected by the earthquake in Aleppo last February, and for all the humanitarian aid that Belarus provided and is still providing to Syria. He stressed the Syrian desire to strengthen relations with Belarus in all fields.
