Presidential Political and Media Advisor Bouthaina Shaaban asserted that Syria’s steadfastness and its allies’ support changed regional and international equations, saying that the events that unfolded in recent weeks revealed many political and media secrets of Western states.

Participating in the Al-Baath Forum for Dialogue held at Damascus University on Monday, Shaaban said that Syria’s approach to the coming stage in terms of dealing with the east and west is marked by tolerance, reconciliation, and cooperation, with emphasis on respecting the sovereignty of states and the principle of non-interference in states’ internal affairs.

She pointed out that the recent events on the international arena have confronted the region with a new world that requires more thought and effort to implement strategic, political, and media plans on regional and international levels, stating that the West is in a state of decline and that the next five years will see Europe undergoing changes.
