Dr. Faisal Al-Miqdad, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, discussed today with Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, during a phone call, the bilateral relations between the two countries and ways to enhance and develop them to reach the level of aspirations of the people and leadership in both countries, and the magnitude of the challenges imposed by the policies and practices of Western countries on the world.

The two sides reviewed a number of issues of common concern on the international and regional arena, in addition to issues related to humanitarian aid and Security Council Resolution 2642, and Western countries shirk their obligations under this resolution, especially with regard to early recovery projects.

Minister Al-Miqdad presented the economic difficulties that Syria faces due to the unilateral coercive measures imposed on it by Western countries, and because of the United States’ continued occupation of Syrian lands and the theft of its resources such as oil, wheat and others, at a time when the Syrians are suffering to secure the minimum energy resources needed to obtain their basic services. .

Minister Mekdad renewed Syria's condemnation of Western campaigns targeting the Russian Federation, as well as attempts to undermine its national security, pointing to the importance of the Russian role in the international arena to confront Western hegemony projects, leading to the establishment of a multipolar international system that achieves the interests and security of the peoples of the world.

Minister Al-Miqdad condemned the policies of the United States and its allies to prolong the war in Ukraine to serve their narrow interests.

In turn, Minister Lavrov renewed his country's position in support of Syria's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and its support for Syria's efforts with regard to the return of refugees, stressing the importance of the efforts made to prepare for the meetings of the Syrian-Russian joint committee to discuss joint economic issues and develop bilateral relations.

Lavrov affirmed Russia's insistence on continuing its efforts to protect the residents of Donbass, expressing Russia's appreciation for Syria's supportive position in facing these challenges.

The two ministers exchanged congratulations on Christmas and the New Year, wishing the peoples of the two countries prosperity and peace.
