President al-Assad receives a delegation that includes participants in the meeting of the permanent office of the Arab Lawyers Union

On June 28th, President Bashar al-Assad received a delegation that includes participants in the meeting of the permanent office of the Arab Lawyers Union, which was held in Damascus. 

During the meeting, the talks tackled a number of topics and issues of concern to the Arab peoples, and the primary role that popular organizations and unions should play in this field. 

President al-Assad stressed the importance of the intellectual role that the Arab Lawyers Union should play to promote the idea of Arab nationalism by opening dialogues to confront currents that promote the loss of belonging and identity. 

President al-Assad said that  without identity and belonging, the idea of nationalism becomes an ideology empty of any content, pointing to the importance of the Arabic language. 

In turn, the participant delegation of the Arab Lawyers Union was keen to hold its meeting in Syria, as it is the country from which the idea of establishing the union emerged, and because it stands in the first row in defending Arab causes, especially the Palestinian cause, and confronting schemes targeting the region. 

The delegation members praised the steadfastness of the Syrian people during the past ten years in the face of the siege and military and economic terrorism, and their insistence on continuing production and rebuilding everything destroyed by terrorism.
