Damascus, SANA-Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Bashar al-Jaafari, discussed on Monday with Luay Shabaneh, the Regional Director for United Nations Population Fund for the Arab States (UNFPA), means of enhancing cooperation between Syria and the International Organization.
Al-Jaafari hailed the Fund’s task in Syria which acts away from politicization, stressing the need for applying UNSC resolution No. 2642 of 2022, particularly in terms of carrying out the early recovery projects, electricity, water and delivering humanitarian aid to the needy people.
He referred to the negative impacts of the economic coercive measures imposed on the Syrian people which contradict the UN agenda of the sustainable development for 2030.
Al-Jaafari called for exerting more efforts to remove the economic embargo which impedes early recovery projects in the country.
Shabanah, for his part, thanked the Syrian government for the efforts it exerts to back the task of the Fund in Syria, showing the Fund’s determination to work in terms of Syria’s priorities.
