Dear comrades,

Our Syrian people is resisting pluckily the expansionist plans and aggressive actions of world imperialism and Zionism, addressing against all forms of aggression, including the direct aggression by member countries in NATO. And our people is facing, by its steadfastness, the terrorist and sabotage actions of obscurantist organizations sponsored by the imperialist intelligence and by the subordinated to imperialism reactionary regimes in our region. The Syrian Communists are struggling, shoulder to shoulder with all patriots in our country, in order to defend the independence, to safeguard the national sovereignty and in order to preserve the unity of the homeland territory. And this struggle is a serious contribution in the struggle of world revolutionary and liberation forces in facing the imperialist hegemony.

We thank Portuguese Communist Party, for the solidarity with the just struggle of Syrian people.

The development of the world events and increasing the ferocity of the imperialist attack in particular, substantiate the necessity to strengthen solidarity and coordination between all progressive forces in general and between the communists In particular.
We wish every success to the fraternal Portuguese Communist Party.
Long live Marxism Leninism!
Long live Proletarian Internationalism
