Ambassador Ala stressed Syria’s welcome to adopting a draft resolution during the current session of the Economic and Social Council on suppor
ting the Palestinian economy, which would contribute to mobilizing support for the Palestinian people to enable them to confront the humanitarian tragedy they are facing, and to possess the elements of steadfastness in the face of the Israeli plans.

‘Syria stresses the importance of the Arab Program for Sustaining Food Security, as well as all initiatives that are consistent with the axes and objectives of this program, and reiterates its proposal on the need to establish joint Arab companies in the field of food industries,’ he said.
