He pointed out at the same time that his country is not thinking of dealing with the Syrian state at the moment, during an interview on Monday with CNBC.

“It makes sense for some countries to have a different systematic policy in their dealings with other countries,” Farhan said, explaining that their rapprochement with the Syrian state may contribute to pushing the political process forward.
