Local Editor
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad discussed Tuesday with a Russian delegation, headed by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Rogozin, the historic relations linking Syria and Russia and the standing coordination and cooperation in the fields of fighting terrorism, economy and trade.
Al-Assad pointed that the policies and stances adopted by Russia whether at the international level or regarding the ongoing terrorist war on Syria, have consolidated its natural position as a great power based on principles, values, commitment to the International Law and respect of the sovereignty of states and their right to self-determination.
Al-Assad further stressed the importance of Russian support to Syria in various areas, including the economic, saying that this support had tangibly contributed to alleviating the suffering of the Syrian people due to the terrorist war and the economic sanctions imposed on them for years.
For his part, Rogozin stressed that the main objective of the military, economic and political support provided by Russia to the Syrian government and people is to reinforce the factors of their resilience against the terrorism that overstepped Syria to spread to many parts of the world.
Both sides agreed to strengthen their cooperation in the economic, commercial, oil, investment, gas and transport fields.
