(AGENPARL) - Roma, 15 Marzo 2023(AGENPARL) – MOSCOW mer 15 marzo 2023
Vladimir Putin met with
President of the Syrian Arab Republic Bashar al-Assad in the Kremlin.
Start of Russian-Syrian talks
President
of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr President, I am very glad to see you in Moscow.
Thank you for accepting our invitation. We are in constant contact and our relations are progressing.
Owing to our
joint efforts and the decisive contribution of the Russian Armed Forces, Syria
has achieved tangible results in the fight against international terrorism.
This is making it possible to stabilise the socioeconomic and domestic
political situation.
However, the Syrian people have faced another very serious problem, a disastrous earthquake.
Of course, this is aggravating the situation. We are trying to support you, as true
friends do. As you know, our representatives from both the Emergencies Ministry
and the Armed Forces located in Syria are also contributing to the earthquake relief
efforts.
However,
despite everything, our relations are progressing, including the economy. Last year,
we recorded a 7 percent increase in trade. Next year, we will celebrate the 80th
anniversary of diplomatic relations between our countries.
I suggest dividing
our work today into two parts – first with our colleagues from both countries, and then we can talk privately during a working breakfast. We have every
opportunity to discuss practically all important issues related to our cooperation.
I am very happy
to see you. Welcome.
To be
continued.
