QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013<\/strong> On Tuesday, the delegation of the Swedish Foreign Ministry discussed ways to solve the Syrian crisis with the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) and affirmed on the necessity of ending the decade-long war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SDC and Swedish delegation held a closed meeting in the city of Qamishli, northeastern Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was attended by Swedish Special Envoy to Syria Per Orneus, humanitarian and assistance official Thomas Marcus, and Evin Cetin, an advisor to the European Institute for Peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SDC co-chair Amina Omar, head of the SDC Executive Board Ilham Ahmed, and co-chair of the Foreign Relations Office Jihad Omar also attended the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a source which attended the meeting, the Swedish delegate stressed the necessity for the SDC to participate in international discussions related to Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweden believes that “there is no political solution in Syria without the participation of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria,” according to the source which attended the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swedish delegate criticized the “weakness” of the assistance provided to the camps in northeastern Syria by UN organizations and promised to do its best to support the camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swedish delegat<\/a>ion arrived in Qamishli on Saturday, and so far has met with SDF Commander Mazloum Abdi and made a visit to both the Washokani and Sere Kaniye camps for Syrians displaced by the Turkish invasion in October 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swedish delegation expressed its belief that the AANES project is very important as a non-separatist entity, and that they fully respect the territorial integrity of Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
