Algeria minister meets Syria’s Assad on rare visit
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSyrian President Bashar Assad meets with an Algerian minister on Monday, in a rare Arab ministerial visit to the war-torn country, state media reports.
Assad thanks Algeria’s minister for the Arab League, Abdelkader Messahel, that Algiers was standing by Damascus in the five-year conflict, SANA news agency reports.
They discussed “the danger of terrorism and the importance of uniting efforts of all countries to fight it,” SANA says.
Messahel’s mission to Damascus follows Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem’s visit to Algeria in late March.
Algeria has systematically abstained in Arab League votes slapping sanctions on the Assad regime.
