Syrian President Bashar al Assad has greatly appreciated President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s telephone call after the earthquake that hit Syria on February 6.

Assad was speaking during a meeting with visiting Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry earlier Monday, according to spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Ahmed Abu Zeid.

Shoukry arrived in Damascus Monday morning on a visit meant to show solidarity with the Syrian people in the wake of the destructive earthquake that hit their country earlier this month.
