WORLD youth organisations have lent their solidarity to Syria’s government in its war against foreign-backed terrorists and mercenaries.

A six-day international preparatory meeting for next year’s World Festival of Youth and Students (WFYS) in Russia closed in the Venezuelan capital Caracas yesterday.

Syria’s official Sana news agency reported that Venezuelan Federation of University Students president Joel Cedeno told the Syrian delegation: “The people of Venezuela follow closely what is happening in Syria and the imperialist attempts seeking to undermine its important role in the region.”
