Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad stressed that the West's coercive and unilateral actions against Syria target the Syrian people, especially children, women and the elderly.
In an interview with the Chinese Xinhua news agency, he emphasized:
China, on the basis of the principle of equal relations between countries, assists Syria, especially in establishing international peace and security unlike the United States, which imposes conditions even on humanitarian organizations that seek to provide assistance and assistance in crises.
The Syrian foreign minister said the United States was stealing Syrian oil, wheat and cotton by supporting its affiliated militias in northeastern Syria and preventing any development there.
Faisal Mekdad stated:
The American view of democracy is aimed at misleading and increasing divisions in the international community and restoring hegemony over the world under the pretext of democracy, which shows that the United States claims democracy.
