Damascus (ST): Representatives of the industrial and commercial sectors discussed during their meeting in the Damascus Chamber of Industry and its Countryside with Terry Mariani, Member of the European Parliament, a member of the French National Rally Party, and the accompanying delegation, the negative effects of the unilateral coercive Western economic measures imposed on the Syrian people and ways to influence policies, especially European ones, to correct relations with the Syrian government.

The head of the Damascus Chamber of Industry and its countryside, Samer Al-Debs, stressed that the unjustified coercive measures imposed by the United States and Europe on Syria, which are considered a wrong policy by all standards and affect all members of the Syrian people, cannot change the sovereign decision of Syria.

For his part, the head of the Damascus Chamber of Commerce, Muhammad Abu Al-Huda Al-Lahham, expressed hope that the delegation’s visit would contribute to lifting these unjust measures imposed on the Syrian people, while the head of the Damascus Countryside Chamber of Commerce Osama Mustafa, for his part, expressed hope that unjust siege on Syria will be lifted and there will be a return of European shipping and transport companies to work in it.

In turn, Mariani indicated in a statement to reporters that this is the seventh visit to Syria and it aims to review the situation in it and evaluate the effects of the unilateral coercive measures imposed on it, stressing that these measures are considered a crime and that it is necessary from a legal and humanitarian point of view that Europe lift them due to the suffering they cause to the Syrian people, pointing out that the delegation will demand that the European Parliament lift the siege that targets the Syrian people for their livelihood.
