Byneveldt described the Syrian-South African relations as “very distinguished” and affirmed the importance of enhancing these ties for the good of the two countries, urging  participation in “Syria Reconstruction Fair” due in September and the “Damascus International Fair” scheduled to be held in August.

 The ceremony was attended by Minister of Communications and Technology Ali al-Dhfeir, Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade Mohammad Samer al-Khalil in addition to a number of People’s Assembly members, ambassadors and representatives of Palestinian factions, besides several party, academic, economic, cultural and social figures.
