MOSCOW, January 28. /TASS/. Russian Leader Vladimir Putin said a lot of effort has been exerted to shore up Russian-Syrian relations since Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa's visit to Moscow in October.
He also noted that Russia has always advocated the restoration of Syria’s territorial integrity and supports all efforts of its authorities in this direction.
TASS has compiled the key statements of the head of state.
Much has been done to restore relations between Russia and Syria since the last visit of the country's president in October: "We have managed to give a start to cooperation in the economic sphere."
Relations between Russia and Syria haven't hit any rough patches since Damascus' independence during the World War II: "All these years, there have never been any dark pages at the interstate level.
