Foreign Ministry: Syria disapproves convening so-called “Brussels V conference” without invitation of Syrian government

Syria has disapproved convening so-called “Brussels V conference” without the invitation of the Syrian Government, affirming rejection of this “show event and the illegitimacy of its outcomes.”

“The Syrian Arab Republic expresses its disapproval of holding that Conference without the invitation of the Syrian government which is the side concerned in the Syrian people’s affairs and the main partner of the UN,” Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a letter addressed to UN Secretary General and President of Security Council on Wednesday.

The letter added that UN participation in the presidency of that conference in light of the absence of the government concerned represents a clear violation of the principles of UN Charter and Security Council relevant resolutions, which all call for respecting sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic.

“Imposing and renewing more unilateral, coercive measures by the EU and US , despite their negative impacts and coincidence with the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic, and organizing that conference at the same time reflect hypocrisy in dealing with the humanitarian situation in Syria.” the ministry said.
