Syria has found itself at the epicenter of the fight against terrorism. It is no exaggeration to say
that Syria's future will be decisive not only for the future of the Middle East. It is in Syria that
the fate of the fight against terrorism is being decided, the fight against this same Islamic State
that has gathered terrorists and extremists of all stripes under its banners and united them in a
desire to expand throughout the entire Muslim world.
It is important to create an atmosphere of cooperation and good-neighborly relations with other
countries and put in place good external conditions for raising our citizens' prosperity and en-
suring Russia's dynamic development as a rule-of-law, democratic state with a socially-oriented
market economy.
The authorities will continue to consider carefully your proposals for bolstering the diplomatic
service's material and human resource base and ensuring social guarantees for diplomatic per-
sonnel and their families. I conclude the first part of my remarks here. I thank our colleagues
from the media. We will now say a few words behind closed doors.
