Maduro expressed his admiration for the history of Syria and the heroism of its people, lauding the courage of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad who led a historic battle against terrorism, US sanctions, and foreign conspiracies thanks to the help of his allies like Russia, China, Iran, other anti-imperialist peoples, and the support moral and spiritual support of Venezuela.
The Venezuelan President called for respect for Syria's right to reconstruction and prosperity, stressing that it is the cradle of cultures. He also suggested holding an economic and investment exhibition in Damascus for all Venezuelan businessmen and Venezuela's Syrian diaspora to stress his country's readiness to aid in reconstruction, tasking the Foreign Affairs Minister with preparing for it and inviting businessmen.
For his part, ambassador Bitar thanked the Venezuelan government and President Maduro for awarding him the highest honor that can be given to non-Venezuelans.
