On May 17th, Minister of Culture Labana Mashouh stressed the need to lift the unjust and unilateral sanctions imposed on Syria.
During her meeting with a delegation from the Syrian-French Friendship Association at the Ministry’s building Mashouh said: “Syria, the cradle of history and civilization, is looking forward to the future and working to overcome all difficulties.”
The two sides stressed the importance of cooperation to convey the reality of the situation in Syria, noting that the subordination of French policy to America harms the interests of the French people, and that it is time to inform the French public opinion of the injustice inflicted by the unilateral blockade on the Syrian people.
It is noteworthy that the delegation included the head of the Syrian Friendship Association, Didier Destromo, Vice-President of the Syrian Friendship Association, Dr. Fayez Al-Hosh, former diplomatic writer Michelle Rambo, researcher and former head of the Center for Strategic Studies, Caroline Galacteros and Patricia Lalonde, and director of the Africa-Asia website Majed Ne’meh.
