Foreign Ministry: Western countries’ repeated negative stances at Brussels conference stress their wrong policies

Syria said that some well-known Western countries are repeating their negative stances before the so-called the 8th conference in Brussels to “support the future of Syria and the region,” which affirms the continuation of their wrong policies that they have been following towards Syria for more than ten years now, based on their fabricated narratives and their malicious intentions.

“Stances of those countries aim to divert attention from the real causes of the suffering of Syrians, which are represented by their support for terrorist organizations, including those put on the Security Council’s lists, facilitating the plunder of national resources, imposing unilateral and inhumane coercive measures on the Syrian people,” Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

Foreign ministry added that contrary to the unacceptable approach adopted by the conference organizers, the objective positions expressed by some countries during the conference demonstrated the need to follow a different approach based on supporting efforts to boost the early recovery projects and livelihoods, and supporting resilience in a way that contributes to improving the humanitarian and living situation, and allows a decent return of Syrian refugees to their home.

The statement said that Syria stresses the importance of financing the United Nations’ humanitarian response plan, far from any political considerations or narrow agendas promoted by Western countries.
