Damascus, SANA- “We have succeeded in shaping a decent identity for Syria that reflects the aspirations of our people and establishes a country based on freedom, justice, and dignity, in which everyone feels the love of the homeland, belonging and sacrifice,” Minister of Foreign Affairs, Asaad al-Shaibani said.
Al-Shaibani made these statements in a speech on Wednesday during a conference for announcing the victory of the Syrian Revolution.
“Amidst the current challenges, Syria is pursuing a purposeful and multifaceted foreign policy aimed at reassuring the international community, clarifying its vision, gaining allies, and representing our people both domestically and abroad, “al-Shaibani added.
He stressed that the primary objective of Syria’s foreign policy is to contribute to creating a regional and international environment characterized by mutual cooperation, respect, and strategic partnerships.
“In our Arab region in particular, we carry a heavy legacy of conflicts. Through our foreign policy, we will strive to reduce this tension and establish peace. Our ultimate goal is for Syria to play an active role in this endeavor,” al-Shaibani elaborated.
He clarified that Syria attaches special importance to its Arab ties and continues to deepen its relations with neighboring countries. “Syria resiliently and determinedly forges ahead, and draws a strong image whose effectiveness in foreign policy is increasing through new partnerships.”
“We have been able to achieve exceptions and suspend some US and European sanctions and this in turn will benefit the country and encourage support for Syria and accelerate the movement of recovery and growth,” al-Shaibani concluded.
