The Ambassador of Sri Lanka in Damascus: Syria provided us with the utmost assistance

On February 2, the Embassy of the Socialist Democratic Republic of Sri Lanka held a reception on the occasion of the seventy-second anniversary of the National Day in Sri Lanka at the Sham Hotel in Damascus.

The Ambassador of the Republic of Sri Lanka in Damascus Dubetika B. K. W. Karunaratne affirmed  the necessity of strengthening and developing bilateral relations between the two countries in a way that serves the interests of the two friendly peoples.

 

Karunaratne said: “Syria was the friend of Sri Lanka and gave us the utmost assistance in various fields.”

Karunaratne considered that appointing her as an extraordinary ambassador in Syria is an important event in the history of diplomatic relations between the two countries. 

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Dr. Faisal al-Meqdad stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation in various fields between Syria and Sri Lanka.

Al-Miqdad said that Sri Lanka’s victory in its war on terrorism several years ago is a victory for Syria over the enemy itself.

Al-Miqdad stressed that Syria defends in its war on terror all humanity and that the Syrian Arab Army continues to liberate all lands from terrorism.

“Syria will not accept any occupation on its lands,” Al-Miqdad said. 

The reception was attended by a number of members of the People’s Assembly, Assistant Minister of Education Dr. Darem Tabaa, a number of ambassadors and representatives of diplomatic missions in Damascus and economic, cultural and social activities.
