President Bashar al-Assad made a telephone call on Friday with Chinese President Xi Jinping , during which the two sides discussed the close bilateral relations between both friendly countries and means of expanding mutual cooperation.
During the phone call, the two sides affirmed the great importance to develop bilateral relations as president al-Assad considered the relationship with China is pivotal and important in order to support the Syrian people’s struggle against internationally- backed terrorism and the blockade that largely affected different aspects of their life.
President al-Assad stressed Syria’s keenness to develop ties between the government institutions in both countries , particularly with the improvement of security situation in most regions, and at the same time, accessing the Belt and Road Initiative, which constitutes a road for economy and development.
