Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Bashar al-Jaafari, described as strong and friendly the relations binding Syria and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) which are considered an advanced model for solid bilateral relations.
Extending his congratulations to the Embassy of DPRK in Syria on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the birth of late President of DPRK Kim Il-sung, al-Jaafari underlined that Syria seeks to strengthen the distinguished relations between the two countries which date back to the era of late great leaders, Hafez al-Assad, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, adding that they are witnessing today development under leadership of President Bashar al-Assad and President Kim Jong-un.
“We, in Syria, consider the bilateral relations as partnership ones that cannot be tested, as there is a similarity in the political and geopolitical analysis of most events in the world, the latest of which is their voting in the same way on the Western draft resolution about Russia”, al-Jaafari said.
