Minister of Information outlines Syria's development process

Minister of Information Mahdi Dakhlullah stressed that the Correctionist Movement led by Late President Hafez al-Assad was the solid base for a modern Syria in all domains.

In an interview given to Egyptian newspaper of ' al-Ahram' published Tuesday, Dakhlullah talked about the political situation in Syria before and after the Correctionist Movement, pointing out that Syria was an area of struggle for power, but later it became a main player in the region and one of the regional powers that no one can ignore.

The Minister stressed Syria's commitment to the national stance despite the current pressures and challenges, asserting his country's belief in the just and comprehensive peace as the only means to achieve stability in the Middle East.

He pointed out to the project to develop the information sector in Syria to match up with the latest developments in all domains.

Regarding the Syrian-American relations, the Minister said " Syria believes that dialogue is the only way for solving pending issues... President Assad's cable to the American President following his reelection was clear in which he stressed importance of dialogue as the best means for boosting relations between the two countries."

Meantime, the minister had told MAP that Morocco is a model for development.
