\u201cThanks to ongoing efforts and evolving circumstances, the ties between Russia and Syria are steadily developing,\u201d Putin said. He added that both countries have planned joint initiatives in industry, sports, healthcare, and construction.<\/p>\n
On the issue of Syria\u2019s territorial integrity, the Russian president reiterated that Moscow consistently supports the full restoration of Syria\u2019s borders and backs the efforts of the Syrian authorities. \u201cWe have closely followed your work on restoring Syria\u2019s territorial integrity and congratulate you on the progress achieved so far,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Putin also referred to the integration of the Transeuphrates region as a key step toward full territorial unification and expressed hope that it will further strengthen Syria\u2019s sovereignty.
