DAMASCUS: The first high-level Qatari delegation, led by Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Dr Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi, arrived on Monday in Damascus, after a roughly 13-year estrangement with the previous regime due to its brutal attempts to suppress the revolution of the Syrian people in their inspiring struggle for justice, freedom, development, and prosperity.
This visit reaffirms the strong and close fraternal ties between the State of Qatar and the Syrian Arab Republic. It underscores Qatar's keenness to continue supporting and assisting the Syrian people to advance Syria, and maintain its sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Dr Majed Al Ansari said the Qatari delegationarrived in Damascus earlier on Monday on board the first Qatar Airways plane to land at the Syrian airport since the fall of Bashar Al Assad's regime.
As the head of a high-level Qatari delegation Dr Al Khulaifi will hold a series of meetings with Syrian officials to embody Qatar's firm position in providing all the support to the Syrian people, Al Ansari added.
