Damascus, SANA-Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Fayssal Mikdad, received on Tuesday a copy of credentials of Mr. Hasan Ahmad al-Shahi as an Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the United Arab Emirates to the Syrian Arab Republic.
During the meeting, the two sides described as “deep and strong” the relations between Syria and the UAE, calling for boosting them in a way that reflects the interest and vision of Presidents Bashar al-Assad and Sheikh Mohammad bin Zaid Al Nahyan in the benefit of the two brotherly peoples.
Mikdad said Syria thanks and appreciates stances of the UAE whether at international forums through its membership in the Security Council, or through its support for its brothers in Syria during the earthquake that hit Syria last February.
Ambassador Shahi, for his part, stressed his keenness, as an Ambassador of the UAE to Syria, on boosting bilateral ties to the level that meets aspirations of both leaderships and people.
