Iranian leadership continues political, economic and military support to Syria until defeating terrorism completely, Speaker of Iran’s Shura Council Ali Larijani said during his meeting with Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Faisal Mikdad in Tehran on Monday.
Later, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif reviewed with Mikdad prospects of strategic cooperation and the latest developments in Syria.
The Public and Media Diplomacy Center of Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Sunday that Mikdad will hold talks in Tehran with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on the latest developments in Syria.
Mikdad’s visit to Iran comes upon the official invitation of Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs Hossein Jaberi Ansari.
Iranian News Agency IRNA quoted the center as saying that Mikdad was to arrive in Tehran Sunday night heading a delegation to take part in the meetings of the Syrian-Iranian joint political committee.
Syria and Iran agreed on holding the meetings of the joint political committee during Ansari’s latest visit to Damascus last September. During the visit Ansari held talks with Syrian officials on enhancing bilateral ties and reiterated his country’s emphasis that victory upon terrorism in Syria will be due to Syrian people, army and leadership’s resilience.
