Meeting of the WFTU General Secretary meets with the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad

On the occasion of the visit of the WFTU delegation to Syria, the General Secretary, Pambis Kyritsis, held a meeting today with the President of Syria, Mr. Bashar al-Assad.

The meeting reaffirmed the WFTU's enduring support for the workers and people of Syria and their struggle against imperialism.

It was stressed that as in the case of Syria, so now in the case of Palestine, the WFTU will remain in solidarity and a firm ally of the peoples of the region in their struggle against occupation, war and foreign interventions.

The solidarity of the WFTU with the struggles of the people of Syria, and the Middle East more broadly, is not a spark. We understand that as the aggression of imperialism intensifies, so will our solidarity. As WFTU, we will remain consistent and firm in our positions, pointing out in every way possible the hypocrisy of the imperialists, and mobilising class-oriented and militant trade unions in every corner of the globe to stand in solidarity with every suffering people.
