Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad, expressed gratitude to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for its emergency response and aid efforts following the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria last week. During a meeting in Damascus with Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, President Assad praised the UAE for being one of the first countries to offer aid and support to Syria.  

According to the Syrian presidency, the Emirati Foreign Minister arrived in the country on Sunday to assess the damage and help coordinate the relief efforts. He also toured the quake-hit areas in western Syria, including the coastal city of Jableh, one of the hardest hit regions. The UAE has sent a search and rescue team to Jableh to help with the recovery efforts and has pledged tens of millions of dollars in aid to support the people affected by the disaster.

The earthquake, which struck on February 7, claimed the lives of over 33,000 people across both countries, with over 3,500 fatalities in Syria alone. The swift and generous response from the UAE has been widely appreciated by the Syrian people, and President Assad's words of thanks are a testament to the close relationship between the two countries. The UAE's efforts to support Syria in its time of need demonstrate its commitment to humanitarian aid and its desire to help those in need, regardless of political or geographical boundaries. The country's support will go a long way in helping the people of Syria recover from the devastating effects of the earthquake and rebuild their lives

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
