Arab Role in Supporting Syria
The Syrian President indicated, according to the Syrian News Agency (SANA), the importance of the brotherly Arab role in supporting the Syrian people to overcome all the repercussions of the war on Syria, stabilize the situation and liberate all Syrian lands, considering that the changes taking place in the world make Arab cooperation more necessary at this stage to invest in these changes in the interest of the Arab people in their different countries.
He stressed that the brotherhood that brings together Arabs remains the deepest and most expressive of the ties between Arab countries. He also stressed that the healthy relations between Syria and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are in the natural state that they should be.
These relations constitute interest for the two countries but also reflect Arab and regional interests as they stem from historical depth, according to Bashar al-Assad.
