Venezuelan, Syrian foreign ministers strengthen fraternal relations between their countries

Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza held a telephone conversation with his counterpart from the Syrian Arab Republic Faisal Mekdad to review the cooperation, fraternal relations between their countries.

On his Twitter account, Arreaza explained he talked to his Syrian counterpart about “their common struggles against imperialist ambitions, their bilateral relation and the need of strengthening multilateralism in the Group of Friends in Defense of the Charter of the United Nations.”

In this regard, the two diplomatic authorities exchanged views on ways to boost cooperation in the face of the aggressive policies of the United States and Western powers against Syria and Venezuela, asserting that these countries promote biased resolutions at the UN and European, American institutions and impose unilateral measures against the people.

They also rejected the support provided to illegal armed groups to destabilize independent countries as part of hegemonic policies to control economic resources, as well as Syria’s and Venezuela’s political options. Therefore, they agreed to strengthen the coordination between their diplomatic missions to international organizations and to create a bloc to mobilize efforts against the West’s malicious policies.

Foreign Minister Arreaza reaffirmed Venezuela’s position in favor of Syria in its war on terrorism and its resistance against the US attempts, and Foreign Minister Makdad reaffirmed Syria’s solidarity with the Venezuelan people and Government to stop all forms of aggression and embargo, and praised the Venezuelan people’s determination in the face of foreign conspiracies.
