DAMASCUS-The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry, the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on Wednesday signed an agreement specifying the legal center of the joint mission on eliminating chemical weapons in Syria.
The ministry and the OPCW also signed a memorandum of Understanding on providing medical services in emergency cases to the joint mission.
Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Faysal al-Mikdad affirmed that Syria will keep working with strong determination and credibility to help implement the agreements signed with the United Nations and the OPCW.
He pointed out that challenges facing Syria, particularly within the framework of fighting terrorism, may sometimes hinder the implementation of some obligations.
Al-Mikdad stressed that the countries supporting armed terrorist groups in Syria should realize that they are committing crimes against humanity and that leniency is absolutely not acceptable when the matter is connected with delivering chemical weapons from Syria to abroad.
