Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak paid a working visit to the Syrian Arab Republic. The Deputy Prime Minister held meetings with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani and Head of the Syrian Presidential Administration Maher al-Sharaa.
The parties considered the prospects for interaction between the countries across the entire spectrum of areas of bilateral cooperation.
The Russian side noted the possibility of providing assistance in restoring the energy sector and the humanitarian sphere, including the readiness to launch a number of projects to provide the Syrian Arab Republic with fuel, food, and pharmaceuticals. Cooperation in the cultural, scientific and educational spheres was also discussed. Thus, at the moment, almost 4 thousand Syrians are studying in Russian universities, which can become a good basis for training qualified national personnel.
Alexander Novak proposed resuming the work of the intergovernmental commission on trade and economic cooperation, which has proven itself to be a good instrument for mutual development in the economic sphere.
"Russia and Syria are linked by long-standing ties of friendship and partnership, time-tested, based on mutual respect and consideration of each other's interests. We hope that at the new historical stage they will also develop for the benefit of our peoples. The current visit was a good opportunity for a substantive discussion of the prospects of Russian-Syrian relations," said Alexander Novak.
