Damascus-SANA
The Syrian-South African Parliamentary Friendship Committee discussed with the Ambassador of the Republic of South Africa Barry Philip Gelder
Ways to develop parliamentary and economic relations between the two countries.
The head of the committee, Nidal Muhanna, praised the stances of the Republic of South Africa in support of Syria during the years of the terrorist war that it was exposed to, pointing to the role it can play in clarifying the truth of what happened in Syria, given that its embassy remained in Damascus and did not close its offices and was a witness to what happened.
For his part, Ambassador Gilder pointed to the depth of relations between the two countries and the importance of increasing cooperation between them in various fields, stressing that his country is clearly aware of the reality of what is happening in Syria, which prompted it to support it in international forums, especially during his country's presence as a non-permanent member of the Security Council.
