Tehran, SANA-Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Shamkhani and Speaker of Iranian Shura Council Ali Larijani reiterated their country’s support to Syria in all domains, appreciating Syrian people’s struggle against terrorism.
The two senior officials met Syrian Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Fayssal Mikdad, each separately.
During the first meeting, Mikdad discussed with Shamkhani ways to boost the strategic relations between Syria and Iran against terrorism, and the latest developments in Syria and the achievements of the Syrian army in combating terrorists.
“Syria is determined to continue combating terrorism until purifying all Syrian territories from it… terrorists are still receiving the financial support and arms in spite of resolutions of Security Council in this regard,” Mikdad said.
He referred to the Syrian government’s efforts of national reconciliation and the consultative meeting between the Syrian government and opposition in Moscow, saying “the inter-Syrian dialogue, away from interventions, is the only way to resolve the Syrian crisis.”
Shamkhani, for his part, reiterated his country’s support to Syria in fighting terrorism, saying “Iran will spare no effort to offer what is needed to support the struggle of the Syrian people in the face of conspiracies.
He called for uprooting terrorism through pressuring the sides which offer financial and logistic support to the terrorist organizations.
In the same context, Larijani met Mikdad, affirming that Iran, as people and government, will go ahead in backing Syria which has achieved brilliant victories over terrorists for 4 years.
“We highly appreciate the sacrifices of the Syrian people against terrorism,” Larijani said, affirming these sacrifices have defeated the US-Zionist conspiracy to divide the region.
Syrian Ambassador in Tehran Adnan Mahmoud attended the meetings.
