Syrian President Basher al-Assad on Saturday assured full support to his Indian counterpart Pratibha Patil on the issue of India’s quest for a permanent seat in the reformed UN Security Council.

“We support India’s effort for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council,” Mr Assad said after talks with President Patil.
Syria also condemned terrorism against all forms as the Syrian President recalled the second anniversary of 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes on Friday.
President Patil also announced that India has offered 100 million line of credit to be used by Syria.
This will be the third line of credit by India to Syria. The purpose behind this offer is to encourage Indian companies to involve themselves in developmental projects in Syria, President Patil said.
After the ceremonial welcome at the People’s Palace the two leaders held a delegation level talks after which they made statement to the press.
Earlier on November 22, the UAE had assured full support for India’s quest for a permanent seat in the reformed UN Security Council.
“His Highness (the UAE President) stated that UAE would certainly support India, which had the right to be a permanent member of a reformed UN Security Council,” secretary (East) Latha Reddy had told reporters on November 22 in Dubai.
President Patil, who arrived here from Dubai on Friday to a warm welcome after a five-day visit to the UAE, was received by Syrian minister for presidential affairs Mansoor Azam
