Governors to organize meetings with activists

DAMASCUS,(ST)_The Syrian government continues its meetings with all parties to launch national dialogue.

Today (Saturday), the political plan-committee held talks with governors to pave the way for organizing and holding consultative meetings with civil and social activists in all provinces.

Prime Minister, Dr. Wael al-Halqi, who heads the committee, briefed the governors on reasons of the Israeli aggression on the scientific research center in Jamraya in Damascus countryside.

“The aggression aims to escalate events in the region, district Syria from confronting terrorism, and obstacle regional and international efforts being exerted to peacefully solve the crisis in Syria,” the PM said.

He underscored need for mobilizing national potentials, boosting communication with citizens, ensuring their basic needs, and backing the Syrian Arab Army who is offering sacrifices in fighting terrorist groups.

The premier also spoke about the political plan and results of meetings held last weeks with number of political parties to reach common ideas about all thorny issues to start national dialogue.

In this regard, al-Halqi asked governors to reactivate sub-committees’ role across Syria, hold meetings with all parties including opposition and armed people, who lays down their weapons, under legal guarantees.  

As for services matter, the PM asked the governors to attach great importance to providing citizens with all basic needs (bread, fuel, gas) and following up situation of displaced citizens and shelters.

The governors presented proposals to organize consultative meetings and offer humanitarian aid to affected citizens.

Last month, a ministerial committee was formed to follow up the political plan outlined by President Bashar al-Assad to solve the crisis in Syria.
