Mikdad meets leader of Mauritanian Ravah Party

Damascus, SANA – Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Fayssal Mikdad met on Wednesday leader of the Mauritanian Ravah (Welfare) Party Mohamed Ould Vall.

During the meeting, Mikdad affirmed that the national sentiment is rooted among the fraternal people of Mauritania, and that Mauritania cannot be subject to pressure in order to change its firm national positions.

On the other hand, al-Mikdad stressed Syria’s commitment to the international humanitarian law, while the countries that support terrorist groups do not abide by it, with the Deputy Minister calling for including the terrorist groups affiliated with ISIS and al-Nusra in the UN list of terrorist organizations and entities.

For his part, Ould Vall noted the depth of the relationship between the two countries’ peoples, adding that Mauritania has supported Syria since the beginning of the unjust war waged against it despite the pressure exerted on it to change this position.

He also stressed his country’s support for Syria in its war against terrorism and for reaching a political solution to the crisis.
