Damascus, SANA-President Bashar al-Assad received on Friday a delegation of Federation of Arab Engineers, headed by Secretary-General Adel al-Hadithi.
President al-Assad stressed the importance of dialogue among Arab federations as an opportunity to exchange ideas, professional and technical experiences, and a platform to discuss issues and problems that Arab peoples suffer from, and to propose solutions that can contribute to dealing with them.
The President considered that those federations express “the true pulse of Arab peoples and they have an important political and social role in achieving Arab popular unity.”
President al-Assad added that the essential point in the work of unions is their presentation of unified economic and technical projects and ideas that form a basis for establishing joint Arab economies to become a strategic vision based on the interests of Arab countries and peoples.
In turn, members of the delegation stressed the importance of inter- Arab investments and their great effect in improving the situation of Arab peoples, and the role of the unions in contributing to the achievement of these investments and removing the obstacles that could hinder them.
They considered that those investments should be directed first towards participating in the reconstruction of what has been destroyed by terrorism in Syria.
