Mr. President, thank you for the warm reception.

You have a long degree.

It's good to play a little sport.

We can come here without having to negotiate.

I confirm what His Excellency the President mentioned.

There are long historical ties

that link Syria and Russia.

Today we are in a new Syria.

after the recent event that occurred in Syria.

We tried to learn about the new Syria

from all over the world.

and to re-establish political and strategic relations

with all regional and international countries.

And at the top, of course, will be the Russian Federation.

Because there are also longstanding historical ties, as we mentioned.

There are also bilateral relations and shared interests.

Many things connect us.

Part of the Syrian people's food supply depends on Russian production.

And also many power plants

depend on Russian expertise.

And many strategic and political relations

whether international or regional.

It is closely linked to Russia.

We respect all previous agreements.

And from this great date.

And we are trying to restore and redefine in a new way

the nature of these relations.

That there be independence for the Syrian situation.
