Local Editor
Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani reaffirmed the Islamic Republic's support for the Syrian nation and government in their battle against terrorist groups.
In a meeting with Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Mekdad in Tehran on Tuesday, Larijani hailed the resistance of the Syrian nation against terrorism.
"The Syrian nation is a resistant nation which has, through perseverance and resistance, managed to leave behind critical and sensitive conditions," he mentioned.
The top Iranian parliamentarian said that a bright prospect is ahead of the Syrian nation, expressing hope that the Arab country could find peace and security as soon as possible.
Mekdad, for his part, said Iran and Syria have very close views on regional and international issues, expressing hope that other countries in the region would keep up battling terrorism.
The Syrian official further hailed Iran's support for the Syrian nation and government in the face of militancy in the Arab country.
Also on Tuesday, Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, held talks with Mekdad and praised the Syrians' victory in the "mini-world war" waged by foreign parties in the Arab country.
Velayati said the region could have faced a different situation had Iran, Syria, Iraq and Hizbullah failed to cooperate with each other.
The meetings come as a new round of UN-mediated peace talks between the Syrian government and foreign-backed opposition groups started on Monday. Negotiations are expected to end by March 24.
