The assistant secretary general of the Syrian Ba'ath party, Abdullah Al Ahmer, received on July 6 the delegation of the Syrian Arab Expatriates Association leadership in Stockholm led by the association's chairman, Edmond Shammas.

Talks dealt with the activities of the Syrian community in Stockholm and the role of the association in revitalizing these activities, in fostering the rapprochement process with the motherland, serving friendship relations between the people of Sweden and Syria and promoting bilateral cooperation relations.

Shammas asserted that the Syrian community always reflects the voice of the Netherlands and unswerving stances concerning the peace process in the region and works for disseminating Arab culture and defending Arab rights and dignity.
