Dr. Faisal Al-Miqdad, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, discussed with Ramiro de Oliveira Lopez da Silva, Deputy Executive Director of the World Food Program, and the accompanying delegation, relations of cooperation and ways to enhance them in order to help improve the humanitarian situation and meet the basic living needs of Syrian citizens.

Minister Al-Miqdad, during his meeting with Da Silva and the accompanying delegation, presented the Syrian government's efforts in light of the terrorist war and the facilities it provides to international organizations, including the World Food Program, to deliver humanitarian aid to those who deserve it.

Minister Mekdad pointed out the importance of focusing on aspects related to early recovery and resilience support and related programs, expressing Syria's appreciation for the efforts made by the program in this field and its readiness to enhance cooperation with the program away from any political agendas that some parties are trying to impose.

Al-Miqdad also stressed the importance of confronting the negative impact of the unilateral coercive measures imposed on the Syrian people by the United States of America and the European Union, which also affect the work of United Nations organizations.

In turn, Mr. da Silva thanked the Syrian government for its cooperation with the program and for its efforts in facilitating the work of the program to improve its role in providing services and delivering humanitarian aid to those in need, calling on the international community to exert more efforts to help the Syrian people overcome the difficulties and challenges they face.

The guest also emphasized that the program is making every effort to raise the level of funding for its activities in Syria, expressing his appreciation for the relationship between the Syrian government and the program in facing the challenges on the ground, as this relationship contributes to overcoming obstacles to relief and humanitarian work and early recovery efforts.

The meeting was attended by Muhammadia Al-Naasan and Yamen Madi from the Department of International Organizations and Conferences, and Hussein Abdel Aziz from the Minister's Office.
