For his part, Dr. Al-Dalil said that the Egyptian-Syrian relationship is special and unique, pointing out that Syria and Egypt are exposed in the current circumstances to a conspiracy that serves the interests of the Israeli entity and other stalkers in the region.

 Ambassador Darwish drew attention to the role of Egyptian thinkers and intellectuals in confronting the conspiracy against Syria, explaining that Syrian-Egyptian relations are deeply rooted in history and have remained coherent and embodied many times, as is the case in the October liberation war in which the blood of the two peoples mixed.
