May 1st is a day that represents a symbol of the unity and solidarity of the world’s workers and their common struggle against all sorts of exploitation, racism, injustice, terrorism, and persecution.

On May Day Syrian people nationwide express pride in Syria’s workers for their commitment to their duties and doing their part in defending Syria. The working class in Syria has shown creativity in overcoming difficulties and realizing development plans in the face of attempts to undermine the Syrian state. The working class has made great sacrifices for the sake of Syria, and it’s moving forward by embracing technological advancements and new economic and industrial standards.  The working class is the most giving group in society, and it plays a special role in the construction process that allows the nation to endure and rise up. Workers in Syria have been targeted by the conspiracy against Syria along with the country’s factories and infrastructure as the workers and the establishments they work in are Syria’s lifeblood.

Undaunted by the immense challenges spawned by the ongoing terrorism crisis, Syria’s workers stress they are now resolved more than any time before to continue performing their national task, notwithstanding its enormity.  The huge challenges facing Syria beget more adherence to national unity and resoluteness to overcome all problems that hinder the development of the country.

Despite all the destruction, vandalism, and theft carried out by terrorists, the production process is still going on in Syria’s factories thanks to Syrian workers.

Syrian workers celebrate today Labour Day with more determination to take part in the battle of rebuilding and reconstruction  and fighting takfiri terrorism which plagued our country over the past six years with the aim of implementing a Zionist agenda that aims to weaken Syria and destroy its infrastructure.

Targeting the infrastructure, which has been constructed by the great efforts of the workers, will not dissuade workers from exerting all efforts to reconstruct what has been sabotaged and destroyed by the armed terrorist groups over the past three years.

Labour Day comes this year while Syria is still facing a vicious global war and conspiracies led by the US, Israel, and western governments and the Arab petro-dollar states.

The Labour Day is an opportunity to highlight the sublime values of devotion, faithfulness construction and production, which are all embodied in the Syrian workers who have always contributed to enhancing work quality and overcoming all obstacles that impede the development process.

The anniversary holds lots of meanings and indications, especially as Syria is facing systematic sabotage acts with repercussions on all aspects of the lives of citizens. Despite six years of terrorist war waged against Syria, the majority of the Syrian institutions are carrying out their duties under difficult circumstances defying the takfiri terrorism which has been supported by the US, its European allies and regional and Arab petro-dollar states. Syrian people, armed with the bravery of its army, steadfastness of its workers and the blood of martyrs have been able to foil the conspiracy and confront the global war being launched against them.

The working class has been given top priority in Syria in appreciation of its pivotal role in achieving sustainable development in all aspects of life. On this occasion, reference should be made to the workers’ role in improving the development process, increasing production, carrying out reconstruction work and improving the citizens' social, economic and political conditions. The working class has played a vital role in creating economic, social and development changes in all aspects of life and strengthening the state's capabilities. Syrian workers performed admirably during the crisis, confronting the economic war against Syrian people and strengthening national economy with their determination to keep working and giving despite the difficult circumstances created by the global war against Syria.

The UN should create a set of international rules to help stop the pandemic of fake news and Cold war-style disinformation, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a session of the UN Committee on Information in New York.

“Our delegation proposes the UN to define a strategy for battling fake news and disinformation. Russia will be ready to fully support this initiative which is extremely important for developing a healthy environment for news reporting,”Zakharova said at the 39th Session of the COI on Tuesday, RT reported.

 As the Syrian people celebrate the 71st anniversary of the Independence Day, they are more determined to step up their struggle against takfiri terrorism and its supporters.

This year's celebrations co-incided with landslide victories realized by the heroes of the Syrian Arab army against al-Nosra and ISIS terrorists in different Syrian areas.

The National Independence Day has been an honorable stage in Syria’s modern history. As we celebrate the 71st anniversary of Independence Day, we remember with great pride the sacrifices of our fathers and forefathers who refused to bow or surrender.

The struggle of the Syrian people started immediately after the decision of the French army to enter Syria. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the colonialist states represented by France and Britain, immediately divided the Arab homeland between them according to the notorious Sykes Picot Agreement as if it were its inheritance.  France took Syria under its sphere of influence and issued the ill-famed Guru Ultimatum before sending Guru himself to occupy Syria.

From the very beginning of the crisis in Syria, the US support for the takfiri terrorists has been crystal clear through providing them with weapons to kill Syrian people and destroy Syria's infrastructure.

The US stance was and remains committed to supporting the terrorists in Syria to achieve the Israeli goals and to weaken Syria. The US Congress has just passed a bill allowing Washington  to send shoulder-mounted anti-air systems to terrorists in Syria.

The main objective of the  US aggression on Syria is to weaken the Syrian Arab Army. The United States threatens security and peace not only in the region but also in the world which will have serious repercussions on the international situation.

As the Syrian and Arab people mark the 70^th anniversary of the Baath Party foundation, they become more determined to adhere to the noble principles of the Party which has always been expressing the aspirations of the Arab people nation-wide.  The Baath Party, which has been coping with the people’s struggle since its founding conference on April 7th, 1947 is now strengthening its commitment to its responsibilities in defending the Arab causes of destiny and confronting the conspiracies being hatched against the Arab people.
