All efforts should be directed towards winning the war, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said at the first session of the Syrian new cabinet.
Touching upon the situation in the country, the president has particularly said: " We live in a real state of war from all angles. When we are in a war, all policies and all sides and all sectors need to be directed at winning this war."
Bashar al-Assad has also said the solution of social issues is the basis for political stability and security, stressing they have to possess an economic mentality with a clear vision. According to the president, the new cabinet of ministers faces great legitimate demands. Bashar al-Assad stressed the main problem is the absence of communication between the government and the people, therefore the citizens find it difficult to evaluate the activity of this or that minister objectively.
To recall, the Syrian new government headed by Riyad Farid Hijab swore in before Bashar al-Assad.
