Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad received a message from the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammad Shia al-Sudani, conveyed by Faleh al-Fayadh, Head of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq, in which he offered his sincere condolences to his Excellency, and to the Syrian people over the victims of the devastating earthquake.

In the message, al-Sudani also stressed that Iraq will continue to support the efforts of the Syrian government with all its capabilities in order to alleviate the repercussions of the earthquake on the Syrians.

Al-Fayyad pointed out that the Iraqi people, in all their sects, hastened, since the first days of the disaster, to mobilize their capabilities to provide all kinds of aid and relief to their brothers in the affected Syrian areas, and they continue to send this aid on daily basis.

President al-Assad thanked Iraq’s positions on the official and popular levels, and the speed of response it made towards Syria, considering that the blood and brotherhood ties between the Syrian and Iraqi peoples, and the common challenges they faced at different stages, made them always close to each other exchanging support and assistance as they are fully aware that what befalls one country affects the other one.
