Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Friday paid his first official visit to the country's economic and industrial hub Aleppo since the outbreak of the country's foreign-backed militancy 11 years ago.
Assad took part in the inauguration of a thermal plant and a water pumping plant in Aleppo, a major city in northern Syria that the government army took back from terrorist/rebels in late 2016.
During his visit to the rehabilitated thermal plant, Assad blamed Western forces led by the United States for the devastation and destruction of the plant's facilities, the state news agency SANA reported.
Syrian experts, technicians, and workers repaired the plant with local expertise and with the help of loyal friends, he added.
Heavy fighting against foreign-backed terrorist groups in the country severely damaged Aleppo's infrastructure, which is still evident in most areas of the city.
