Western sanctions have been imposed against Syria since a civil war broke out there in 2011. It has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions. How can the country restore its former glory and return to pre-war growth and prosperity? How can China help revive and boost Syria's economy? In this edition of Leaders Talk, CMG's Zou Yun sat down with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to discuss the country's reconstruction and its return to the international field. On his visit to China, al-Assad attended the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games. He also held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in a bid to end more than a decade of diplomatic isolation under Western sanctions. Both presidents jointly announced the establishment of a China-Syria strategic partnership. Al-Assad pins hopes on Xi's global initiatives and on the Belt and Road Initiative, saying that China calls for a new type of international relations and rejects hegemony. He also commends the Chinese people for their patriotism and cultural confidence.

مجموعة من الحمقى تدعم رئيس قاتل وارهابي قذر قتل شعبه
why don't you just step down , is it about money ? do you trust other Syrians to rule the country ? or you're the GOD in Syria , people are not to speak up about corruption and abuse
Syria is a resistant country and has resisted the pressures. Peace be upon the country of Syria🇮🇷❤🇸🇾❤🇨🇳
我们淋过雨，所以要给你们打伞
ايران دولة عاهرة ومجرمة تحكمها العمامة اللعينة
Thanks to Russia for the help in defeating the terrorists.
Yuck
How Syria has suffered just for American and Israeli interests. I wish to live to see justice done.
Where are you from? Love from CN!
God bless Syria 🇸🇾
Long live President Bashar al-Assad 🙏
I hope China will help & rebuild Syria ❤
Meanwhile, evil Washington continues stealing resources from the poor & vulnerable.
Be strong Syria 🇸🇾 Syria will rise again like 🌹 blooming across the Syrian landscape 🙏
Time for all oppressed countries to unite, and end the Western imperialists' hegemony.
This is a great interview, Mr. President is a mild-manner and honest with his words, very well-done !
a man is a murderer , Syrians are not deceived by his language or his suit , blood of poor Syrians still on his hands , a man is an agent of Iran
May God bless Syria .
I hope that the people of Syria will soon have peace. The thieves who stole Syria's oil should go to hell.
They should be FORCED to go to hell.
مع الأسف ما زالت الولايات المتحدة تسرقه
The Russians? 😂

Every cloud has a silver lining.. May the Syrian people see the better days on the collaboration with the Chinese people...
President Al Assad is a great leader. He is genuine and speaks from his heart.
Great he has been given a platform. Thank you.
Thanks you very much for inetrveiwing a very important Leader from a very important part of the world world. thank you CTGN
Excellent channel to the free world. China will help rebuild Syria to restore peace stability security. Syria China Zindabaad 🇸🇾❤🇨🇳
I am so happy Mr Assad and his People have found a friend and associate in China.
They need a better future than the awful past under USA oppression.
I remember his interview with western media his replies were cut by the rude interviewer making him a bad leader. It's good that President Assad was interviewed again and is given the chance to tell his plans for his country and the people. Good luck Syria, from the Philippines.
Western main media interview are little Hitlers
I remember that too, it's good to hear him speak again.
That is Western modus operandi by demonising the president through their media, using their journalists/prostitutes to attack him instead of giving him a fair coverage and then media isolation. Glad that CGTN gives him a full coverage for world to learn about the situation in Syria.
Which western media is so rude? I want to watch it. Thanks!
@@beatricewan9958 it was around 2011 if I'm not mistaken it was Barbara Walters.
All the best wishes to Syria,,
It is good that in this interview they really respect him and not framing him as bad leader etc. Respect for all world leaders
He speaks with knowledge.
This president is formidable intellectual minded who understands the world as it is!
Wow ! Mr Al Assad proves here he understood perfectly the difference between the western kind of development and the Chinese one. The fact that the Chinese leadership strived to preserve the ethnic, cultural and national identity while fostering modernization is the main factor which makes the Chinese model attractive for the rest of the world. As Mr president said, many other countriea were able to have economical development (Japan, South Korea, Germany, Poland), but all failed to keep their cultural and ethnic integrity, not to mention the loss of real soverignity, as all these “countries” are virtually vassals of the United States. Only China while becoming the world’s superpower stood firm in trying to preserve its culture, its values and its ethnic character.
Yes, this is really mind blowing. Your comment is totally true. I'm an American, but all my hopes for the future of humanity are on China. China has to win this or we're all doomed.
There are only 4 countries that have full sovereignty: the USA, RUSSIA, CHINA, and NORTH KOREA.
@@hasinarian6711 What U.S. has done to the Muslim world in the last 30 years is one of the all-time greatest atrocities. Fortunately, U.S. has shifted focus to China and doesn't have time/energy/money to interfere in the Middle East any more. Should give these countries space to grow and prosper like they should. There are so many smart and creative people in the Middle East. It should be a very prosperous part of the world.
I would add that the U.S. model falsely equates a "free market" run by the business class with a free and democratic system, and even by just existing successfully China threatens the U.S.'s self-image and disproves that fiction. Most other countries not run by the business class have been subject to some form of coup or whatever so they can't succeed unless by following the U.S. model. And the business class is killing the planet, we need some kind of different system.
(I'm American too, hope to visit China soon)
Eventually the whole world will accept the Indian culture and Sikh religion. We are increasing in numbers fast and we are not growing old and dying out like the whites and mongol races.
I'm so happy to see this interview. ❤😢❤😢
There was a time when the West echoes with....Assad must go! Today Assad is still standing tall. Keep it up Mr Assad! Seek win win cooperation with the right countries to help you with rebuilding your country and help your people prosper. The law of karma will one day catch up with those thieves who not only stole your oil and resources but also destroyed your country. Good luck! Mr Assad.
May peace will come to Syria and the rest of Arabic world.
Wonderful interview. God bless President Assad.
President Assad spoke in a calm and dignified manner. He made reference to the importance of values and the formation mindset. Without doubt when he spoke about his people's collective culture being more open and inclusive as compared to the western individualistic culture rings true.
Thanks China, Arabia countries and especially Russian in this aspect to save Syria from western isolation and social destruction.
Yes, Russia saved them from complete destruction by the U.S. Thank you, Russia!
Without Russia's military support and maintaining stability in Syria, it's difficult for China to convince its investors.
What an incredibly intelligent, open-minded , mature president!
of course he is, why else would the US hate him
Compare Assad’s sincere dignity with Netanyahu’s glib tongue and sleaze….
I feel for Syria, it’s a small country and being “ damaged” by USA n Allies…. Hope Syrian people can rebuild their lives again through this agreement,, syria has a beautiful capital city name , sound similar to a rose type , damask rose….I hope the city will built again with millions of damask rose in it
Thank you for sharing this heart-felt and enlightening conversation with the steadfast leader of and for the Syrian people and their country. May Damascus bloom bright for the nation as a whole once again and may every Syrian’s happiness blossom fruitfully! 🌹🇸🇾💐
With great respect & gratitude to 🇨🇳💓🕊️
Faithful and steadfast indeed….
This is one of the most important interviews I've ever seen. I'm shocked that the U.S. portrays this guy as a butcher. Never seen him speak until now. Thank you CGTN for finally give President al-Assad a chance to speak for himself.
Stay strong. China 🇨🇳 & Russia 🇷🇺 will stand behind u all the way after witnessing what had happen to Libya 🇱🇾, Iraq 🇮🇶 & Afghanistan 🇦🇫
👍👏👏👏💪🤗🙏
Regards fm 🇲🇾
Very true!!!
what A good man
Here is an intelligent educated leader. So much strength and courage. My respects Mr Bashar Al Assad.
Rises like a phoenix from the ashes. 浴火鳳凰,起死回生!
Excellent interview
President Bashar al-Assad is a dignified, humble, intelligent and heroic gentleman. Nothing like what the evil psychopaths of the American Empire describe him! What horrific deeds he and his people have suffered at the hands of the US warmongers. I hope that he can destroy the US troops who have invaded Syria and caused death and destruction. God Bless him and his family.
A real survivor for his people
And the people of Syria should be proud of their president Assad, who cares about his people’s well being and strive to better their livelihood ending suffering.
My BEST wishes to Mr. Assad and his family, and the country of Syria and its beautiful people. 🙏❤️🙏
نعم لم يفعل شيء سوى قصفنا ببراميله المتفجرة وقتل مليون من شعبنا لهذا يجب ان نفخر به فكيف لا يفخر العبد بسيده تبا لك ايه الأحمق
❤❤❤🌹🇸🇾
Bashar is one of the very few notable and worthy of praise leaders of the present times.
President Bashaar Assad of Syria is indeed a rare jewel who stood up for principle gracefully and confidently under prolonged gargantuan pressures without buckling or selling out his citizens. Let us hope that other countries, especially fellow Arab League members the likes of Saudi Arabia, take their cue from him. Long live Syria and all peace loving nations….
What a Wonderful Interview! Many Thanks to CGTN for this great interview, and also to President Al-Assad for his mindful and thoughtful replies. What lovely comments by Chines Netizens, Bravo to you all! Syrian athletes coming into the stadium and the attendees cheering them brought tears to my eyes, what a proud moment for the Syria people, and what a great acknowledgment by China! It appears that rebuilding the basic needs like power and hospitals and such are priority number one. China, Russia, Iran and all other friendly countries can hopefully help and it will be a win-win for all.
Low rise and modular constructions. Since the area is prone to transgressions, it may be beneficial to build low-rises that are spread over a large area, instead of lots of tall buildings in concentrated areas. Also, to build modular, meaning it can easily be fixed and maintained even if one section is damaged. Also, possibly some underground structures to help maintain stability and continuity.
The so-called global superpower is NOT colluding with the terrorist, They ARE the Terrorists. They are the creators and the instigators of conflict.
So Sad to see how far the US has degenerated through its own diseases that now a days, it resorts to Stealing oil from other countries like Syria or stealing Oil Tankers like a common 2 bit criminal, it is pathetic.
An aggression towards Syria, is an aggression towards All Asian countries and Asia herself. I hope we start referring to the area as “West Asia” instead of Middle East”. Asia Unites against transgressions towards it by the satanic forces.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Standing Bear and the Majestic Phoenix unite to protect All of Asia.
God bless Assad & God bless China 🌹
Please help Syria and end the illegal sanctions by corrupt America
Wow! What an absolute personality! Love and respect. I love Syrians and their kind hearted people
Syrian Leader said all the truth, thank to Russia and China for keep helping and providing the need of Syrian people.
As a Brit I am so ashamed of our interference in Syria, I may not agree with everything Assa does, but he is the legitimate resident.
I hope China supports him along with Russia and gives him weapons and means to remove the Yank troops and mercenaries who are sitting on Syrian oil fields with the purpose of keeping Syrian unstable, whilst stealing Syrian money that could be sued to rebuild its country.
I heard that phrase, "I may not agree with everything he does" a lot from westerners implying as if so & so does a lot of bad stuff. And these so called "bad stuff" were just western propaganda & make up narratives, which mostly untrue or a direct result of US led West's doing. Now, I would like to ask you what don't you agree on what Assad did? Let's hear it.
Yup
The US is occupying 1/4 of Syrian oilfield illegally. And selling oil daily
Why isn’t the UN making noise?
为什么你们总是第一件事，总是先想到使用武器，用头脑啊，叙利亚想要用武力战胜，得失去多少人的性命，只要美国人不想退出，叙利亚人牺牲完了，都不一定能做到，办法总比方法多，
Syrians have faced death under torture , Syrians are scared to say a word about the holy president , I wasn't with the Syrian revolution because I know how far Assad would go , Assad has a traits of anti social personality , has no remorse , killing is a habit ,but only when it comes to unarmed Syrians because he knows no one would care , he spread lies wherever he goes , He can't fight an army , his mission to uproot Syrians ..
I can't remember watching an interview from a country's head of state with such humility, facing the deliberate challenges and destructions on such a scale is heart breaking. Hope all Syrians continue to stay strong, can restore peace and rebuild your country.
Také Bašár Asad je zajímavá osobnost. Vůdce Syrské Republiky je charismatický člověk. Mne osobně sedí. 😊
Mě taky, nevypadá jako prolhaná osoba typu Blinken, Stoltenberg apod.
Dr. Bashar assad is a eye doctor
@@mirekslechta7161lol the whole collective west is a liar . Past , present & future ! Empire of lies !!!
As a Norwegian, I’d say that we, in the Western world are victims of our arrogance which is partly due to our ignorance! My outlook to the world changed when I went to study Arabic at the very prestigious American University of Beirut (Lebanon). That experience was transformational ! Not only it opened me the possibilities to learn and discover the cultural wealth of the Arab world and that includes Syria of course, but I discovered that the very identity of our European continent wasn’t actually only Roman & Greek as we learn in European and western history books, but it actually started in Western Asia. Europe was a Phoenician Princess born less than 70 Km from Damascus Syria, she was born in the very ancient Phoenician city of Tyre 30 km south of Beirut, in what is today Lebanon. Lebanon was called ancient Phoenicia which covered all of Lebanon and the Syrian Mediterranean coast . The Phoenicians of Byblos ( considered as the world’s most ancient city) invented and gave us the Alphabet which we all use in Europe, and the very name of our continent, came from a West Asian Princess, born in Tyre in what is modern day Lebanon. China has a lot to gain because the People of the Arab world don’t have any resentment against the Chinese, Japanese , Hindus, Koreans or the people of East Asia. Sadly, I can’t say that about the legacy of European fascist colonialism and the criminal American hegemony which shredded the region to pieces with their endless criminal wars and support of Islamist extremists through the help of Turkey, without which, the U.S wouldn’t have been able to install the fascist Islamists and to steal Syrian oil and gas.
Thank you for that. And yes, Turkey and its Erdogan are very culpable, and all for what?
你可以看一下这次阿萨德总统来中国有多难，为了保证他们的安全，中国政府专机绕了很多国家，很多国家空军战斗机伴飞
I must note this, in history, Damascus, along with Aleppo and Baghdad were important trading hubs for ancient Chinese to trade with Persians, Arabians, Northern Africans and Europeans through the silk road. Whenever trades thrive without wars, regions prosper, people prosper. Really sad to see what had happened in these three cities.
First to know thay thanks for add it any way we are all human beings .. thanks from ancient city of damascuse
If you genuinely love your country as it is, your leaders are doing their job, against all the outside interference.
President Al Assad is wise and full of determination to rebuild peace and security for Syria..🙏🙏
سيدي الرئيس بشار الأسد 💋🇸🇾💞💞💞💋💋💋💋🇷🇺🇮🇷🇨🇳
ماشالله عليكي🇸🇾❤️
It's so sad to hear all the suffering Syria is facing.... wish them peace and prosperity
Brilliant and resilient leader!
Tq for this interview.
Wow, I like this lady anchor, Zuo Yun. 🌹🌷💕
All the best wishes to Syria, from Taiwan China.

Great Syrian president Assad, ❤
from Serbia.
How can the civilized world ever forgive the American atrocities committed against so many countries? I am deeply ashamed of my neocon-controlled terrorist government. President Assad is a wonderful and intelligent leader. I hope that Syria can rebuild and reach its full position!
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦💕
Thank you China for helping Syria.
God
Bless you Mr. President. The best to you, your family and the great Syrian people isa
🥰🥰🥰🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾🦅🦅🦅Thanks
I must say, President Bashar al-Assad knowledge and vision for the future of his country is amazing.Hope all Syrian will except his vision and work with him for the betterment of a new Syria.
May God bless Syria and all of its ppl, , love from india
This is the truthful interview GTCN with Syrian President, Assad seeking China assistance to rebuild his country.
I'm glad finally we get the see the possibility for humanity to rise up & fight against imperialism & its neo-colonial system whether you are from "the global south" countries or not. China is that beacon of light making the world to realize it can be done so peacefully.
Thanks CGTN for bringing out the true voice of Syria. The English main stream media will not broadcast these words. ❤❤❤
As a left-wing political party, the CCP was born to be anti-imperialist and anti-colonial. Of course, China can help Syria in terms of trade and infrastructure, If China can complete 70% of the world's high-speed rail within ten years, then China can also rebuild Syria within ten years, but China should also help Syria in terms of sovereignty and independence.
Because what Syria is experiencing today reminds the Chinese people of the Republic of China in 1921. At that time, ROC was full of warlords, bandits, and separatists from Tibet, Xinjiang, and Mongolia. However, the Kuomintang was a dictatorial, incompetent, and corrupt right-wing fascist party that only served landlords and British and American capitalists acted as comprador to exploit and enslave the Chinese people.
However, after experiencing a series of wars, the Chinese people defeated Japan, the Kuomintang, the United Nations force, India, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam's aggression, enslavement, and encirclement of the Chinese people and rose up. During last 40 years of peace, China became the world’s largest economy.
The Chinese Communist Party helped North Korea and North Vietnam drive away French and American troops, more importantly the PLA troops withdrew after the war.
The CCP also helped Afghanistan and Cambodia drive away Soviet and Vietnamese troops, so China has no ambitions for occupying foreign territories.
I believe that the Chinese Communist Party can also help Syria drive away the US imperialism, defeat the Kurdish separatists, unify the country, become politically independent from the influence of Russia and Iran, and become a powerful country in the Middle East again.
CCP does not exist unless you live in the CIA & US led west disinformation circle & media. The actual official English term is Communist Party of China or CPC. This may not seems significant. But this is how US led West propaganda begins, they setup different terms first & corrupt those terms with all kinds of make up narratives or talking points in order to create negative association towards it which would then affect average people when thinking of it. So don't underestimate the use of words as it is how our mind convey meanings or understanding them. And that's exactly how US imperialists led West knows and hence how US propaganda is second to none.
Greetings from the UK. Sadly the population of my country has been de-educated over the last forty years. My country is now in severe decay, infrastructure, culturally, intellectually and ethnically. All done to achieve the globalist vision of a world that is a disorganised, homogenous, deviant, culture less, elitist controlled morass of perfect diversity. Thank goodness we have China and Russia to stop this madness.
That interview was awesome, Thank you China for your measured, kind and diplomatic approach to Syria who deserve respect and understanding from nations other than the West who have tried to destroy them for their own gains. Love from Austraiia
I'm sorry for what happened in Syria but President Bashar al-Assad has shown true leadership throughout, and thanks to Russia and China!!!
Compare this maturity to the rantings of our western leaders. God bless Assad and the victims of American aggression.
Or Zelensky!
President assad really went thru a horrendous 20 years, probably even worse than what his dad went thru. He will get out of this wiser. I hope that the un can make a political resolve to end the war in syria. Their people deserve a chance to live a good life.
God bless Syria!
I hope Syria recovers from the unjust war soon.
I earnestly hope that President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian people can swiftly restore their nation to its former glory, ushering in a new era of peace and stability in Syria.❤
🇨🇳 🤝 🇸🇾...👍...
God bless syria and her people. God bless al assad. I think he looks genuine and with a heart and a smart mind
Bravo, great interview, it brings hope and clarity in this transition of a new world.
مقابلة ممتازة نتمنى لسوريا والصين كل الخير
Many thanks for a very well designed program with highly informative, excellent hosting, and in depth discussion with the Syrian President. The insights revealed from the discussion has provided a rich understanding for the readers to appreciate the leadership and determination of the president who has been facing the evil plots and destruction caused by the imperialistic western powers.
We sincerely wish Syrian people 🇸🇾 to have a successful reconstruction of its country and restoration of its past glory. 🌷🌷🌷May peace be blessed on Syria and its people.
Mr Assad is a true gentleman and a leader that deserves the respect, love and trust of his people. His humble demeanour speaks volume in his favour unlike the leaders in the west. The terrorist U.S. has no right to be in Syria right now, stealing its resources. In spite of what the evil Americans have done and are still doing, Syria is still surviving thanks to the support of countries which do not support the hegemonic intention of the U.S. Long live Syria and Mr Assad together with his gracious wife. May Syria prosper with the help of its friends!
Fantastic. A brilliant and caring President for his people.
Hats off to President Al-Assad, a man of courage, wisdom, and dignity to defend and protect his country from Western hegemony. I wish the best for Syria and the Syrian people! 👍
May peace be there again
For Syria they need to find a way to get the US forces out of their country and for Syria to than take care of the terrorists of Kurds, Turkey and ISIS.... i.e Syria need to get back their country and kickout these terrorists supported by the US, Turkey and Kurds.
I pray that Syria will soon be liberated and that the China and Syria strategic partnership will be a success in all areas.
Solving Syria issues is the key to solve Israel , Palestine conflicts
Its best move for Syria..👍💯
Stay Strong. Wish your people out of suffering soon
Zou Yun. Most beautiful and sweetest journalist I've ever seen. Absolutely angelic.
1. Now that he has secured the chance-i hope he can love all his population irrespective of CREED, RELIGIOUS AFFINATION. Hope China and the rest of the country in this region be able to help him resolve his problem with the Kurds. 3. May peace and prosperity return to this country
Bashar Al Assad was the only one to protect Syrian Christians, and he has my respect forever for that. As a Christian in Europe, Syria has always been my favourite middle eastern country because Christians don't get oppressed by the government.
😁❤️
Saddam Iraq too, but Unfortunaly doesn't end well and today they are unprotected.
for some reason arabs love saddam but hate asad
its like they hate an arab leader, kill him, and then are like oh wait we actually loved u lol come back
@@crazychicken8290saddam and Assad aren’t the same at all
Can't wait to see China and Syria's first joint venture being realized! Housing? Utility supply networks? New roads or train lines? Very excited about their shared future!
Bashar Al-Assad BASED
Joe Biden CRINGE
Thank you China and CGTN for letting the world to hear him. Syria was a great country destroyed by the evil western empire.
Big thank you for this interwiev.From west Europe.We have only Al Capone USA narrative. Great thx, very nice and smart president.
Perfect interview they will never show this on the western TV. Humble person great president. wish him and Syria all the best in the future. hope they can kick out the US as soon as possible so they can rebuild their country again.
I wish Syria and China all the best and thank the efforts of President Xi towards a peaceful resolution to the world’s crisis. May peace for all peoples are achieved in my lifetime. Most Americans are against these proxy wars and barbaric attacks against other nations, I’m sorry. With love and admiration from a regular citizen of USA.
Co-operate with everyone to uplift the people and the nation. Keep away from evil designers.😅.
I totally agree with Assad: a country’s population must always keep their tradition, identity and culture, they must never forget where they came from. So, I hope China will never adopt the soulless decadence of the West.
fantastic interview. thank you for sharing. and thank you to China, Russia and Iran for helping the Syrian people through these difficult times.
