Cuban Communist party condemns the unilateral Western economic measures imposed on the Syrian people
On August 6th, Director of the International Relations Department of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party, Emilio Lozada Garcia, denounced the illegal unilateral coercive economic measures imposed by the United States and Western countries on the Syrian people.
During his meeting with the Syrian Ambassador to Cuba, Dr. Ghassan Obeid, Garcia affirmed his country’s support for Syria in international forums.
He referred to Syria’s positions that defend Cuba and demand the lifting of the criminal blockade and US sanctions against it.
He described the return of relations between Syria and the Arab countries as a great victory over global imperialism, and confirms the correctness of the Syrian position, which was able to defeat the plans aimed at dividing Syria, plundering its wealth and isolating it from its surrounding.
He said that Syria has become a symbol of resistance and defense of its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed bilateral relations and ways to enhance them, and stressed the need to continue making efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation in various political, economic and trade fields between the two countries.
In his turn, Ambassador Obaid pointed out that Syria is currently witnessing a stage of reconstruction and recovery from the terrorism it was subjected to.
Ambassador Obaid praised the scholarships offered by Cuba to the Syrian side, indicating that this confirms the strength and solidity of the bilateral relations between the two friendly countries and peoples.
