Mikdad pointed out to the importance of focusing on aspects related to early recovery and the related programs, voicing Syria’s appreciation for the efforts made by the World Food Program in this regard.

Da Silva, in turn, called on the international community to exert more efforts to help the Syrian people overcome the difficulties and challenges they face.
