Minister of Expatriates Butheina Sha'aban on Thursday said that "marketing our culture and civilization correctly is a form of resistance because the Arab battle is a battle of knowledge. What is more dangerous is the land occupation and confiscation of the People's will."
During her meeting with Chairman and members of Fia-Arab in Buenos Aires, Mrs. Shabban praised the participation of the Arab and Syrian communities in the South American continent, considering the participation as an extension of the Arab Oriental Civilization.
For his part, Chairman of the Fia-Arab Oracio Haddad thanked President Bashar al-Assad for his interest in the expatriates affairs, stressing the importance of holding the Fia-Arab conference in this current situation.
He pointed out that the conference there is a festival titled 'The Andalusia' which aims at highlighting the interaction between the Syrian and the Spaniards in Europe.
