The humanitarian disasters caused by the unilateral coercive economic measures imposed on Syria, as well as the obstruction of these measures to the efforts made by the Syrian government , were also explained by Mikdad.
He also talked about theft of Syrian oil and wheat by the US occupation forces and their agents, and the dangerous impact of the continuation of these practices on all Syrians,
In turn, Beasley expressed his thanks and appreciation to the Syrian government for the facilitations it provides for the work of the program in the country, praising the high level of cooperation existing between the program and many partners in Syria.
Beasley hinted at a number of issues and ideas the program is working to focus on its projects, thus these projects would have a more effective role in helping Syrians overcome the economic difficulties they are going through.
